Extended Hours
Members and their guests can continue to enjoy the day long after the last with extended hours and live entertainment in The Roof Garden and The G.H. Mumm Champagne Bar.
Get ready for an exhilarating year of world-class racing, gourmet cuisine, and premier entertainment. The 2024/25 racing season kicks off in style with the VRC Season Premiere Race Day at HQ.
Join us for this much-anticipated event, 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!
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.
VRC Members are able to access Flemington racecourse on VRC Season Premiere Race Day, the first race day of the 2024/25 season, using their current membership card.
