Spring Classics Preview Day

A relaxing day at the races enjoyed by everyone.

Flemington was enjoyed in all its spring glory at the Spring Classics Preview Day that offered something for everyone, from the avid punter to the youngest punter in the making.

With the Melbourne Cup Carnival firmly in everyone’s sights, it was a chance to see future stars in the making in the Penfolds Victoria Derby Trial (1800m) and Kennedy Oaks Trial (1800m) as they sought a guaranteed place in the $2 million Penfolds Victoria Derby (2500m) and the $1 million Kennedy Oaks (2500m).

The Flemington Front Lawn was filled with family fun action for all ages. From face painting to sports and games, arts and crafts and pony rides located under the Parade Deck, the kids had plenty to choose from.
