The Melbourne Cup is run at Flemington which in 1861 was a recognised venue for race-meetings conducted by the Victoria Turf Club. It is located on former river flats adjacent to the Maribyrnong River, 15 minutes by road from the central business district. In 1973 the first (and so far only) Aboriginal jockey to ride a Melbourne Cup winner was Frank Reys on Gala Supreme. There has also been some confusion about Frank's aboriginality as his father was Filipino. To further confuse the issue, Reys referred to his background as Filipino in most interviews of the day as he believed that openly admitting to his aboriginal heritage would have hindered his prospects. However, the fact that Frank was part Aboriginal can be proven: his maternal grandmother was from the Djiribul people of Northern Queensland. Spring Champion Stakes.

Spring Champion Stakes. The Cup was no longer an Australian horse race, it was an international event providing a fitting challenge for the world's most noted trainers. Betting on the big race was paralysed. To the dismay and anger of the public, bookmakers, showing no feeling, presented a purse (loaded with coins) to the captain as token of their appreciation for his part in saving them many thousands of pounds in bets already laid on the favourites who had perished. Perhaps they should have kept their money, however. The outsider Briseis comfortably won by 1 length in the biggest field of all time, and in an extremely good time, so it is unlikely that the horses who perished could have beaten her.
