The season reached its stirring finale with a day steeped in pride, power and history. TAB Australian Cup Day is where past, present and future meet, and where the stories of Flemington are written into the track once more.
The $2 million Group 1 TAB Australian Cup (2000m) commanded the spotlight, a race etched in history by champions such as Dulcify, Bonecrusher, Lonhro and Makybe Diva. The action didn't stop there! The undercard featured the highly anticipated $300,000 Lexus Roy Higgins (2600m), offering the first Golden Ticket into the 2026 Lexus Melbourne Cup.
