Held in late October and early November each year, the Melbourne Cup Carnival is unmistakeably the pinnacle in Melbourne’s horseracing calendar. Over four days, Melbournians don their finery – dapper suits, stylish frocks, fascinators and hats – and head to Flemington Racecourse for Australia’s finest horseracing meet. But that doesn’t mean there aren’t a range of other race meetings on offer throughout the rest of the year – check out Melbourne’s Autumn Carnival (www.horseracinginfo.com.au), held annually in February and March, for all the fun and excitement of a day at the races.
