Traditions Down Under
Tomorrow, the Melbourne Cup, Australia's major annual thoroughbred horse race, will be held at the Flemington Racecourse in Melbourne, Australia.
Nearly every person in Australia stops to watch or listen to this event; it is internationally billed as "The race that sto[s a nation" and is the highlight of the Melbourne cup Carnival. It has been held by the Victoria Racing Club on the first Tuesday each November since 1861.
