The Melbourne Cup

The Melbourne Cup is our most famous race and run over 3200 metres (2 miles) at the picturesque Flemington racecourse on the first Tuesday in November each year. The Melbourne Cup is the major draw card of the Melbourne Spring racing carnival and is known as the 'race that stops a nation', because the whole of Australia literally stops to watch or listen to the running of the Melbourne Cup.

Melbourne Cup

The 2010 Melbourne Cup will be the 150th time Australia's most popular race will be held and the Victoria Racing Club has a number of events to celebrate the occasion. The Melbourne Cup is the premier race of the Melbourne spring with the Caulfield Cup and WS Cox Plate also highly regarded.

The Melbourne Cup is held on the second day of the Flemington racing carnival which is a Tuesday and is worth $6,175,000 in prizemoney making it one of the richest handicap races in the world. The first ever winner of the Melbourne Cup was Archer in 1861 and he duly saluted the following year as well.

Outstanding mare Makybe Diva is the only horse to win the race three times when she won three in a row in 2003, 2004 and 2005, and that's a feat unlikely to be repeated anytime soon.

The 2009 Melbourne Cup was won by Shocking who defeated Crime Scene with Mourilyan in third spot in front of 100,000 plus racing fans.
