The Race That Stops A Nation
Melbourne Cup at The Feathers

The first Tuesday in November only comes around once a year — so do it properly. The Feathers throws open the Terrace and the Greenhouse for a day of champagne, canapés, fascinators and long shots, right at the foot of the Adelaide Hills.

Pick your package, back a horse for reasons you'll struggle to justify, and leave the rest to us. TAB on site, a Best Dressed prize on the line, sweeps running all day, and VB Buzzy live once the field's crossed the line.
