    MEDIA RELEASE May 14, 2015 Carnival Guests the Winners on Melbourne Cup Cruise Carnival Cruise Line is betting big during this year’s Spring Racing Carnival with a winning trifecta combining Halloween, the Melbourne Cup and Oaks Day into an action-packed Carnival Spirit cruise. Departing on October 30, the fun-filled itinerary features a “Halloween spooktacular” theme night before Cup fever takes over. During the cruise, punters will be able to hear it straight from the horse’s mouth with well-known race caller John Tapp sharing his knowledge about Australia’s premier horse race during a Q&A session and a Cup-themed degustation dinner. John has been a mainstay of the Australian racing industry, delivering the results of more than 50,000 races, since calling his first horse race on Sydney’s 2GB in 1965. John said he was looking forward to cruising down to the Melbourne Cup. “Not only will it be a relaxing way to travel, it’s also going to be a great opportunity to meet fellow racegoers and share some tips ahead of the big day,” he said. Popular racing personality Richie Callander will also return to Carnival Spirit this year to impart his top tips in the lead up to the big event. Fashion advice and a fashion parade at sea will ensure guests are ready to put their most stylish foot forward on race day, while other racing themed activities will include sweepstakes and a series of special dining experiences, including a Mad Hatters’ afternoon tea and post-Cup recovery brunch.

  • Melbourne Spring Racing Carnival 2016
    Oct 02, 2016 16:11 AEDT Melbourne Spring Racing Carnival 2016 The Melbourne Spring Racing Carnival is the name of a Melbourne, Australia Thoroughbred horse racing series held annually during September to November highlighted by the 156th running of the time-honoured Melbourne Cup on the first Tuesday in November. It brings together the very best of Australian and International thoroughbreds for 50 days of world-class horse racing action. The whole event has a carnival like atmosphere which brings the city of Melbourne to life during spring carnival time. Although Melbourne Spring Racing Carnival in Australia is held every day except Good Friday and Christmas Day, the Group One races in Melbourne are held almost exclusively throughout the carnival, which is traditionally placed between the football and cricket seasons. During the winter (where football is dominant), and summer (where cricket is dominant), racing takes a 'back seat' position in relation to the cricket or football in terms of media coverage and attendances, however in spring and autumn, the mass media turns its attention to the racing. There is also a Melbourne Autumn Racing Carnival, a time where Group One races are also held. The 2016 Melbourne Spring Racing Carnival you will find feature race dates for all Group 1, Group 2 & Group 3 races in Melbourne during the spring. In the groups of Melbourne Spring Racing Carnival, feature event is the Group 1 race is the $400,000 Memsie Stakes at Caulfield on Saturday 27th August 2016, while the 'race that stops a nation', the $6,200,000 (3200 Meters) Group 1 Melbourne Cup, will be held under handicap conditions on Tuesday 1st November 2016 at Flemington racecourse.
