This is the big one before Cup Week, with Group 1 Racing and plenty of fashion and fun to be had.
TAB Turnbull Stakes Day has historically been a key indicator for contenders and horses to watch ahead of the Melbourne Cup Carnival, headlined by the $750,000 Group 1 TAB Turnbull Stakes (2000m).
Also located on the Front Lawn are family-friendly activities for kids of all ages.
Expect congestion around Flemington and nearby roads (Racecourse Rd, Ascot Vale Rd, Epsom Rd, Langs Rd) this weekend due to the Melbourne Royal Show. Train is the recommended transport this Saturday on TAB Turnbull Stakes Day, with extra services running – check the PTV website for times. If you are driving, allow extra time and enter via Flemington Drive or Members Drive.
Please note, there will be no right turns into Flemington Drive or Member Drive entrances from Epsom Rd due to traffic controls.
