The Melbourne Cup is according to "The Everest" ($ AUD 14 million) is the most lucrative horse race in Australia and Oceania, while the most lucrative long-distance race in the world. The total prize money of the Melbourne Cup is approximately A $ 7.3 million , of which a good half goes to the winner. That is significantly more than the Kentucky Derby , but less than the Dubai World Cup , which is run over a shorter distance.

"The race that stops a nation" takes place every year during the Australian Spring on the first Tuesday in November at Flemington Racecourse in the north of Melbourne in front of over 100,000 spectators. Thoroughbreds from 3 years of age run the unusually long 3.2 km flat course of the Group 1 test on turf .

The Melbourne Cup is a Group I race for horses aged 3 and over. It has been held as a handicap race , ie with a weight allowance, over a distance of two miles since 1861 . In 1972 the distance was reduced slightly to 3,200 meters due to the introduction of the decimal system in Australia. From 1877, the day was declared a public holiday in the Melbourne area. Nowadays the race is part of the Spring Racing Carnival, which lasts a good month. On the Thursday after Melbourne Cup Day there is another big race, the Crown Oaks. The names Oaks Day and Ladies Day are also common for this day.

The course record was set by Kingston Rule in 1990 with a time of 3 minutes and 16 seconds. The years 2003 to 2005 saw Makybe Diva a three-time winner for the first time. Before that, four horses had already won twice. In 2014 a German horse won for the first time with the Protectionist trained by Andreas Wöhler . In 2015, Michelle Payne was the first woman to win the race.

As part of the Melbourne Cup, Calcutta sweepstakes are regularly held in Australia among friends or work colleagues , and this type of bet is extremely popular especially in connection with this race.

  • In the history of the Melburn Cup in 1930, Phar Lap was the winner with worst odds of 8-11 ($ 1.72).
  • Metric system of units - originally the race was over two miles (around 3218 m), but after the introduction of the metric system in the 1970s, the distance was adjusted from the current 3200 m in 1972. The shortening of the distance and Rain Lover's 1968 record in 3 min 19.1sec was adjusted to 3 min 17.9s. The current record is from 1990, when Kingston Rule won in 3 min 16.3s.
