AAMI victoria derby day

'the best single day of thoroughbred racing'

The Melbourne Cup Carnival kicks off with a sensational day of racing on AAMI Victoria Derby Day. Considered by most racing purists to be the best single day of thoroughbred racing in Australia, if not the world.  It is an all-Group raceday featuring nine races, four at the elite Group 1 level.

The fashion stakes are equally high with the commencement of Myer Fashions on the Field. This is the day for classic elegance, which sets the pace for the entire week. It is the first opportunity for women to parade their new Melbourne Cup Carnival outfits. The traditional black and white outfit has been a prominent colour theme for women, while men have worn a grey morning suit, top hat, peacock vest and pin-stripe pants.  The official flower for the meeting is the cornflower.
