The Spring Racing Carnival is arguably one of the most exciting times of the year. With the fashion, food, social experience and the best from the racing scene, The Geelong Cup a winning day out for everyone.
If you back a winner or not, this is the horse race that has you eating mouth-watering foods (those hot salty chips for example) and enjoying world class drinks with the numerous bars and food vendors around the venue.
Whether you’re a seasoned punter, or you are just tempted to try your luck on the stallions, it’s nice to see your winning horse thunder across the finish line leading the pack – and possibly see you sharing a prize pool of $300,000.
Another spectacle worth your attention is the Fashions On the Field. Each year the competition sees hundreds of glammed-up entrants strut their stuff on the catwalk. If you consider yourself a bit of a fashion guru, this one might be worth the short walk on stage.
As for where to watch the action go down, The Sporting Globe Beer Garden is a perfect spot. The beer garden is ideal for party animals, as this race-day-option is hosted by Campbell Brown and features a PIMM’s cocktail bar, live music by DJ Torren Foot and entry to the Official After Party at the Sporting Globe – with free bus transport.
You ticket also gets you access to a burger bar and salad lunch and a drink card which gets you three standard drinks and two PIMM’s cocktails. Oh, and not to mention a massive screen and trackside vision.
