In the afternoon of the first Tuesday in November each year, Australia literally stops in its tracks to watch the Lexus Melbourne Cup, held at Flemington Racecourse in Melbourne.
The carnival atmosphere at Flemington is lively and glamorous, with corporate tents stocked with champagne, the Myer Fashions on the Field competition and outrageously costumed racegoers picnicking in the carpark. Even non-gamblers have a flutter on the Lexus Melbourne Cup.
