This book presents a richly illustrated and engaging chronicle of Australia’s most iconic horse race, the Melbourne Cup, held annually on the first Tuesday in November. It traces the evolution of the event from its early days into a major cultural and sporting spectacle, weaving together stories of legendary horses and jockeys, the social rituals that surround “Cup Day”, and the broader meaning the race has held in Australian life.
