Flemington Racecourse, Horse racing venue in Flemington, Melbourne, Australia
The racecourse stretches over 2,312 meters in circumference with a 450-meter final straight and features three large grandstands accommodating up to 120,000 spectators.
The Victoria Racing Club gained legal control of Flemington Racecourse in 1871 through a specific act, establishing its governance over this significant racing location.
The Melbourne Cup, held every first Tuesday of November since 1861, transforms the venue into a national celebration of horse racing and fashion.
Visitors can access the racecourse via a dedicated railway line from Flinders Street Station or take tram number 57 to the Epsom Road entrance.
The course contains the largest public rose garden in the Southern Hemisphere and displays a historical racing mural by Harold Freedman in The Hill Stand.
