Welcome to the 2024/25 Racing Season at Flemington! 

Get ready for an exhilarating year of world-class racing, gourmet cuisine, and premier entertainment. The 2024/25 racing season kicked off in style with the VRC Season Premiere Race Day at HQ. 

This was a much-anticipated event, where Melbourne Cup Carnival hopefuls began their quest for glory in the Spring features. It was the perfect start to a spectacular season at Flemington! 

The Group 3 Aurie's Star Handicap (1200m) feature has historically been a steppingstone to stakes-race success for horses including So Si Bon, I Am A Star and Temple Of Boom, and The Astrologist; not to mention future Group 1 winners Voodoo Lad, Hey Doc, Niconero and Fields Of Omagh. Last year’s edition was taken out by Flemington straight specialist It’sourtime.
