What's On this Saturday

Fast Horses, Fashions on the Field, Friends, Family and Fun - this is the first taste of carnival.

This is the big one before Cup Week, with Group 1 Racing and plenty of fashion and fun to be had.

TAB Turnbull Stakes Day has historically been a key indicator for contenders and horses to watch ahead of the Melbourne Cup Carnival, headlined by the $750,000 Group 1 TAB Turnbull Stakes (2000m).

Golden Ticket #7 – granting ballot exemption for the 2026 Lexus Melbourne Cup – will go to the winner of the Lexus Bart Cummings (2500m). 

Fashions on the Field is back and this is your chance to showcase your finest spring racing style for the opportunity to secure a direct place in the Grand Final. Winners in the Best Dressed and Best Suited categories will earn their spot to compete on Crown Oaks Day.

With plenty of thrilling action on and off the track including live entertainment and family friendly activities everybody will enjoy, this is Spring In Full Bloom at Flemington.
