Held on the first Tuesday in November, the Melbourne Cup is not just the biggest day in Australia’s racing calendar. Victorians get a public holiday while, around the rest of the country, in workplaces and even schools, life stops while people watch the race, sip some champagne and join in a sweepstake. It’s part of Australian culture.
