It’s all about the fashion, mamas. Get your friends together, don some fancy headwear and celebrate ‘The Race that Stops a Nation’, The Melbourne Cup!
There is an annual tradition in Australia in which everyone stops at precisely 3:00pm Melbourne time on the first Tuesday of November. Literally everyone stops. Collectively the nation holds its breath as 24 horses and their riders take the stalls for The Melbourne Cup. The race is usually over in 3 minutes and 20 seconds as those magnificent equine creatures gallop 3,200 metres around Flemington Race Course. The celebrations last much longer, and there is no need to miss out on the excitement in Singapore as the parties extend all the way over here!
Our friends at The Australian & New Zealand Association (ANZA) have rounded up the top options for your ultimate Melbourne Cup in Singapore on Tuesday, 1 November:
