Delta Goodrem, we hail you, and your everlasting reign on the Australian music industry and popularity amongst Australians. With this in mind, it comes as no surprise to celebrate the announcement that Delta will be an official VRC ambassador for the 2021 Melbourne Cup Carnival.
Delta represents everything we love about the Melbourne Cup Carnival, including entertainment, fashion, and of course her soulful and most recognizable voice that will be sure to STOP the NATION!
The globally celebrated artist has a longstanding relationship with the club, performing the Australian national anthem in the Mounting Yard ahead of ‘the race that stops a nation’ in 2007 and returning last year as an ambassador to perform her hit single Solid Gold on Lexus Melbourne Cup Day.
“After another unique year, Lexus Melbourne Cup Day is a great Aussie moment to look forward to and a wonderful opportunity to celebrate no matter where people are around the country. I really hope this is a moment that will be one that helps to bring people together and lift the Australian spirit,” Ms. Goodrem said.
“As a storyteller, there is nothing I love more than an Aussie tale of grit, heart, strength, and determination, and the People’s Cup has so many stories exemplifying these values.”
Delta has consistently shown herself as a woman with raw talent and strength, while also facing adversity in her own personal life, which is why she is the perfect Ambassador to represent the VRC and our great City of Melbourne, during what has been one of the most prolific and devastating times that our people have faced, with the challenges that have arisen due to the pandemic of Covid.
Last year the VRC said thank you to frontline workers and local community organisations by gifting them bouquets of roses from Flemington’s world-famous bushes following the 2020 Melbourne Cup Carnival. The club will continue this initiative again this year.
VRC Chief Executive Officer Steve Rosich said it was wonderful to once again welcome Delta Goodrem as an official ambassador for 2021.
The 2021 Melbourne Cup Carnival kicks off with Penfolds Victoria Derby Day on Saturday 30 October, Lexus Melbourne Cup Day on Tuesday 2 November, Kennedy Oaks Day on Thursday 4 November, and Mackinnon Stakes Day on Saturday 7 November.
Revel in Cup Week with the 2021 Melbourne Cup Carnival broadcast live and free on Network 10 and streamed on 10 Play.
