Feature race nominations in Melbourne are often entered well in advance of the actual race and Horse Racing Info will provide early nominations for major races as they become available.
The 2011 Melbourne spring racing carnival promises to be the best yet with top quality thoroughbred racing action taking place in Melbourne throughout September to November with the running of the 151st Melbourne Cup the highlight on the first Tuesday in November.
The first Group 1 race of the spring is the Underwood Stakes at Caulfield racecourse in September, while Caulfield is also home to the second biggest Cup race of the spring when the $2.5Million Caulfield Cup takes place in October.
Following the Caulfield Cup, all eyes turn to Moonee Valley racecourse where the weight-for-age championship of Australasia takes place seven days later, the prestigious WS Cox Plate, providing the perfect lead in to the exciting four day 2011 Melbourne Cup Carnival set to kick off in late October this year.
Australia's greatest race the $6.2Million Melbourne Cup will be run on Tuesday 1st November, 2011 over a distance of 3200m (2 miles) at Flemington racecourse in Melbourne.
