The Victoria Racing Club has unveiled this year’s Birdcage Enclosure for the four-day Melbourne Cup Carnival, transforming it into a breathtaking metropolis that promises to dazzle and delight! The Landmark by Lexus marquee welcomes invited only guests with the melodious grand piano out on the decked area, and an eye-catching electric car that features as you enter.
But the wonder doesn’t stop there! Lexus is joined by a stellar line-up of partners, including Penfolds and TAB, where VRC members are invited to place their bets while soaking in the luxurious ambiance of this prestigious precinct.
Tabcorp CEO Gillon McLachlan said, “Tab is the only place to be over the four days. For all the people coming to Flemington this week it’s going to be a big TAB takeover. We’re going to have helicopters, ships, jets, and any other mobile transportation, taking over the track. We are going to have a lot of fun and Tab and Green is the only place to be seen.”
The excitement continues with elaborate offerings from Furphy, G.H. Mumm, and Crown, each marquee more spectacular than the last, creating a vibrant tapestry of elegance and celebration.
Rebecca Judd the official ambassador for Crown was simply charming and excited to be with Crown. Bec said, “look at this beautiful Crown marquee, its bigger and better it wants for nothing. There is hair, makeup and amazing hospitality, beautiful drinks, freshly shucked oysters, and the interior everywhere you look is just superbly curated. I’m just so excited to spend Spring Carnival here. I love getting together with friends, coming here getting dressed up and having a glass of champagne. I love having a dance and enjoying the amazing group one races. I’ve got a girl’s day on Derby Day and I’ll catchup with the husband later in the day.”
And let’s not forget Channel 9, the official free-to-air broadcaster, capturing all the thrills of this unforgettable event. This year’s Birdcage Enclosure is not just a place to watch the races; it’s a journey into a world of glamour and adventure, where every corner unveils a new delight! Get ready to be captivated!
