Welcome

‘G

’day and welcome to The Annual ANZA Melbourne Cup Race Day 2019

at the Singapore Turf Club. Year after year, this is one of our most popular events to get dressed up to the nines, use our (albeit limited) horseracing lingo and have a cheeky flutter on the Race that Stops a Nation.

As always, I’m very much looking forward

PJ ROBERTS ANZA President

to spending time with you all – especially the best dressed winners of Mr and Mrs Melbourne Cup.

Download and get voting on ANZA Vote! If you haven’t done so yet, you may still have time. I’m also delighted that we’re supporting our worthwhile charity; Riding for the Disabled Singapore.

So eat, drink and be merry – odds on, we’re up for the very best of days with our community.
