What MRC membership benefits are available for the Caulfield Cup Carnival?
It is mornings and uh it's a bit of teamwork here over the course of the trade period. Sam Edmund, Josh Jenkins with you up until midday before we hand over to the Pipe Dwayne Russell. Speaking of handing things over, the end of the AFL season signals the start of uh the spring carnival and all things racing goes to another level, JJ. And the Melbourne Racing Club's Josh Rodder is with us on the line. You can save a hundred bucks on MRC Full and Young memberships today. with the code SEN and experience the Sportsbet Caulfield Cup Carnival as a member. Josh, welcome to the show. Good morning
Sam. Good morning JJ and good morning to all in the land
of SEM. Exciting times, Joshie.
Yeah, no, well Turnbull Stakes Day, we know on Saturday's a huge day. It's a bit of a moving day within racing post the grand final. So this Saturday at Flemington we'll get a lot of uh people talking about the best runs heading into the Caulfield Cup and um you know the Caulfield Cup's our flagship race, Sam. Hundred and fiftieth running this year. So it's really something special going on at the MRC this year and what a time to become a member. uh of the Melbourne Racing Club.
What facilities and member experiences can you enjoy at Caulfield Racecourse?
A hundred dollars off today for all SEN listeners. And um there's just some fantastic facilities here at Caulfield. It doesn't matter where you are, you're close to the action. There's some real hidden gems. Bars like the 1876 upstairs is a fantastic place to watch the racing. You can go out the front of the Norman Robinson stand and watch the racing live. No glass blocking you. You can smell the linemen out there. And then of course the medallion bar. When you're a full member of the Melbourne Racing Club downstairs, there's a members only bar. And not only for race day, but even if you wind the clock back a few weeks ago, that preliminary final, they lifted the roof off it when the Lions got the cash late.
So we stay open for the members. If there's a big sporting event, so it's a fantastic
What makes the 150th Caulfield Cup Carnival a major spring racing event?
time to become a member of the Melbourne Racing Club and there's so much to offer across our free racetrack.
Yeah, it is the perfect time, uh, Josh. I mean, it's it's uh two of the best weeks of the uh of the spring carnival. We know what cup week is all about, but to have uh Sports Bet Caulfield Guinea's Day on the tenth of octo October and then roll straight into the Sports Bet Caulfield Cup the very next week. It is a uh magical seven days of racing, the hundred and fiftieth running as you mentioned, and you've found uh a little bit of extra money. Money, a record a record six million purse, six million dollars, and half yours will be back there trying to uh claim the race like he did last year.
Yeah, JJ, he sits at the top of the weights at the moment, half yours, and I know he runs in the Turnbull Stakes on Saturday. So it's still a little bit up in the air. I think the stables saying they're gonna go Turnbull Stakes, stay at Flemington for the Cox plate this year, run at Flemington into the Melbourne Cup. But he's got the big impost of fifty nine in the Melbourne Cup. And you'd have to say the connections would really be looking at that handicap in the Caulfield Cup at fifty seven and a half. It looks really attractive for last year's winner, who really came from nowhere. He he wasn't a horse that was really well known through the winter, but really stepped up with a win in the naturalism, which was a qualifying race for the Caulfield Cup, launched his spring carnival with a win in the Caulfield Cup.
And what a historic moment for Jamie Mallam. taking home the Caulfield Cup last year. She's again riding um half yours this spring. And then he went on to win the Melbourne Cup. So he loves Caulfield and it'd be great to see him at the top of the weights.
Which horses and international contenders are shaping the Caulfield Cup field?
But we've got twenty four Group One winners nominated for the Cafield Cup. We have had a long tail of the Caulfield Cup in recent years, but uh I'm really getting the sense that this year's Caulfield Cup will have a little bit of class. Treasure the moment showed she was back in form last week in the Fee and Stake.
