Melbourne Cup

On the first Tuesday in November, Australians everywhere stop for one of the world's most famous horse races - the Melbourne Cup!

But the Melbourne Cup is more than just a horse race - it is a 150-year old social and cultural tradition that literally brings Australia to a standstill. 2010 will be a special year as the Victoria Racing Club celebrates the 150th running of the Melbourne Cup with a number of special activities and events planned. The race draws competitors from all over the world with the annual invasion of Asian and northern hemisphere-trained stayers making it a truly international event. The Melbourne Cup now attracts a worldwide television audience of over 700 million people in 120 countries and territories while millions more either view or listen to the event via the internet.

It is one of the biggest social events of the year and the perfect opportunity to network with clients, entertain guests or socialise with friends and work colleagues.

It is a celebration not to be missed and never to be forgotten!
