  • Emirates Melbourne Cup Day
    November 6, 2012

    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.

    It is hard to convey the sheer scale of Emirates Melbourne Cup Day to someone who has not witnessed it before. It is an exciting and exhilarating event where you can experience the pulse of Australia in just one day.

    The 3200m race is run at 3pm on the first Tuesday of November and is the richest prize in Australian sport.

    Crafted by Hardy Brothers Jewellers, the 2012 Emirates Melbourne Cup trophy is valued at $175,000 and is created from 2,340 grams of solid 18ct gold which takes more than 250 man hours to produce.

    The Emirates Melbourne Cup has gained a reputation for fashion with a penchant for drama. It is the day to make your strongest fashion statement with an exotic or outrageous ensemble - hats are essential and so is a yellow rose in the lapel.

Be it mothers and daughters, aunts and nieces, sisters, or simply friends, Crown Oaks Day is truly a time for women to connect and enjoy the 'ultimate style day'.

    Whether it is just for fun, or for the lure of fame and prizes in Myer Fashions on the Field, Flemington becomes awash of colour on Crown Oaks Day as it also hosts one of the world’s great outdoor fashion events. The winner of the national competition of Myer Fashions on the Field is announced on Crown Oaks Day, reinforcing its importance on the fashion calendar.

    Visitors to Flemington on the Carnival’s third day should remember to wear a pink rose, the official flower of Crown Oaks Day.

    The final day of the Carnival is all about relaxed style, and the opportunity for the young ones to shine. For some, it is the day to deck out the little ones in the latest junior fashions, while for others it is simply a day to have fun with friends and family.
