Melbourne cup without crowd due to Victoria’s coronavirus restrictions

Melbourne: Trainer Chris Waller will be watching today’s Melbourne Cup from Sydney despite having two runners in the race, in what he calls a “very different” year.

The horses and most trainers will be at the track but, for the first time in its history, the Melbourne Cup will be celebrated remotely by punters and racing fans alike.

Around 1500 people are at Flemington Racecourse as essential workers today.

Victoria Racing Club is expecting the day to be an overall loss making event.

Victoria’s Racing Minister, Martin Pakula, said despite the easing of some restrictions, it was “not a suitable time for gatherings of this nature”.

The Victorian Government was forced to backflip on a decision to allow some owners and connections to attend the Cox Plate after a public backlash.
