Melbourne Cup Day is Australia’s most famous Tuesday. At 3.00 pm AEST on the first Tuesday in November, Australians everywhere stop for one of the world’s most famous horse races – the Melbourne Cup. It’s a day where the nation stops whatever it’s doing to listen to the race call, or to watch on TV. Even those who don’t usually bet, try their luck with a small wager or entry into a “Melbourne Cup Sweep” – a lottery in which each ticket-holder is matched with a randomly drawn horse. We provide the best sweeps and supplies to make sure your Melbourne Cup party is one to remember.
