"The Melbourne Cup is Australia’s most famous horse race and one of the major horse racing events throughout the world. The Melbourne Cup is known as The Race That Stops a Nation, taking place every year on the first Tuesday of November."
"Millions of Australians, in schools, at work, in their homes stand eyes glued to the television to watch a single horse race that lasts no more than a few minutes."
"The Melbourne Cup is a 3200m handicap and one of Melbourne’s biggest annual sporting events since 1861. It’s actually so big that the Cup Day is a public holiday in the state. No where else in the world has a horse race become so important that is declared a public holiday!"
