The 2024/25 racing season kicks off in style with the VRC Season Premiere Race Day on Saturday 3 August where Melbourne Cup Carnival hopefuls begin their quest for glory in the Spring features. It is the perfect start to a spectacular season at Flemington! 

Traditional public holiday meetings will continue to be run at Flemington with New Year’s Day Race Day on 1 January and ANZAC Day Race Day on 25 April.

The Lexus Melbourne Cup Day remains the jewel in the crown of Australian racing and the Flemington racing calendar continues to be full of both tradition and innovation.

VRC Chairman Neil Wilson said the new-season race dates give VRC members and racing fans something to plan and look forward to, including 14 Group 1 races.
