The Melbourne Cup, held annually on the first Tuesday in November, is Australia's most famous horse race and one of the country's best-known sporting traditions. First run in 1861, this prestigious 3,200-metre race takes place at Flemington Racecourse in Melbourne and is often referred to as the race that stops a nation.
Beyond the excitement of horse racing, Melbourne Cup Day is also known for its colourful fashions, elaborate hats, social gatherings and celebrations. From the legendary Phar Lap to memorable racing moments, the event has a fascinating history that continues to capture Australia's attention.
