A day at the races

First view of the 151st Emirates Melbourne Cup...


The obligatory souvenir pin... 


The Johnny Walker Stakes race with a view across Flemington towards Melbourne.

Time for a pink champagne drinks break...


Race 7 - The Melbourne Cup. 3,200m. British Red Cadeaux leads as the horses approach the end...  

But French horse Dunaden pips him at the end for the closest finish in Melbourne Cup history...


And a very happy winning jockey Christophe Lemaire.


Definitely 'the race that stops a nation'.
