A highlight on the summer racing calendar, the VRC Standish Handicap Race Day promises excitement and top-tier competition. Honouring the legacy of Captain Frederick Standish, who created the concept of the Melbourne Cup, the $200,000 Group 3 Standish Handicap (1200m) will showcase the top contenders vying for victory and a coveted spot in the Group 1 Yulong Stud Newmarket Handicap on 8 March, 2025.
Ditch the ordinary this summer and dive headfirst into Flemington’s epic pool party ... at the races! Our vibrant Front Lawn is transforming into the ultimate summer playground, Summer Social. Enjoy $10 pizzas, cocktails and drink specials in the Smirnoff Summer Garden, while listening to DJ’s in the lounges and inflatable pools.
