New year, new tradition
For the first time, Flemington will see the year out with racing on New Year’s Eve, combining summer twilight racing with celebrations.
Summer style at Flemington
As the season changes, so does race-day fashion. Summer racing calls for lighter layers, softer tailoring, and a more relaxed style.
Ever seen a horse swim?
Equine pools are a great way to exercise and rehabilitate horses and are now a practice integrated into most trainers’ routines. Flemington’s pool facility is a hub of activity all year round.
Cool by design
As temperatures rise, attention turns to how horses are managed once the race is run. The VRC’s heat-management protocols remain consistent year on year, while recovery practices continue to evolve.
The Zahra effect
Mark Zahra has earned a reputation for delivering when it counts, and he certainly did so at Flemington during Cup Week.
Faith, patience and Pride
Pride Of Jenni returned from retirement with an incredible win in the Empire Rose Stakes, showing she still has more to give.
