| The Spring Racing Carnival is the highlight of the horse racing calender in Australia and it is held every year at the Flemington Racecourse throughout the first week of November. The pinnacle of the horse racing season is the world famous Melbourne Cup, which is always held on the first Tuesday in November and therefore sets the dates for the rest of the carnival. As well as the Melbourne Cup the Spring Racing Carnival features a number of other major group 1 horse races including the Victoria Derby, Crown Oaks and Emirate Stakes. |

HOW TO GET THERE
The best way to get to any of the racing days at the Spring Racing Carnival is to take the train. Throughout the week-long carnival there are regular train services that depart from the Southern Cross train station on Spencer Street and take you directly to the Flemington Racecourse train station. Alternatively you can take either the number 57 tram that runs along Flemington, Racecourse and Epson Roads or one of the many shuttle buses that have services direct to and from the racecourse. |
