Melbourne Cup
The $6.175 million Emirates Melbourne Cup is a truly spectacular
event and the focal point of the Melbourne Cup Carnival. While most
of Australia stops to watch or listen to the race, there's nothing
like being there amongst the 100,000 plus crowd to experience this
truly unique event. The excitement slowly builds to its 3pm fever
pitch when everything at the track comes to a stop for 200
heart-pounding seconds. Each year, a new chapter is written, a new
legend is made and a new dream comes true as the winning
connections take Australia's most famous sporting trophy.
