The History of the Horse Carnival in the Melbourne Cup
In 1861, Melbourne held the first Melbourne Cup, with 17 horse races coming to the game. The members of the horse-racing club did not think of the Melbourne Cup for a half-century and became a very important part of the Australian society and the sports culture.
For the first Melbourne Cup, there were more than 4,000 people who won the title of a horse called "Yutcher". The bonus is the old 170 and a gold watch. At that time, the Aussie had made great enthusiasm for this pure horse race.
The Fleming Jockey Club is the host of the Melbourne Cup, which is a very common racetrack with only a few runways and obstacles. But thanks to the success of the Melbourne Cup, it soon became a feast for a carnival, a picnic party, a performance, a celebration, and so on. At the same time, people used the event to show off their most fashionable dress. From a long time ago, some of Australia`s social celebrities began to come to the feast, and they are still retaining the traditional habit.
The fashion in the field
The horse racing festival is not only a horse racing feast, but also a fashion feast.
The Australian Women`s Week, of November 13,1957, used the "fashion" on the Fleming Jockey Farm to describe the women who came to the Carnival at that time, and the two words of the race "and fashion" were closely linked.
However, with regard to the origin of the Jockey Club`s fashion or from 1962, the Victoria racing club decided to hold a fashion game on the racetrack. The purpose of the competition was to look for both economic and intelligent clothes. The winner may or the like a gift and a bonus. The high-profile fashion competition was also popular with the media.
Today`s Myer Fashions to the Field is not just a part of the Carnival, but has become Australia`s largest outdoor fashion event. Many people are dressed up to compete for the historic Myer Department Store. The public competition is divided into men`s and women`s teams with a total bonus of more than$400,000.
