The Winning Post Enclosure Flemington

Vale the great Lonhro.

Farewell to the mighty Lonhro, who has passed away at the age of 25. 🩷

A horse who captured the hearts of racing fans through his deeds on the racetrack and his natural beauty.

Well another Melbourne Cup Carnival run and won, congratulations to all the connections of Gold Trip. The weather held out for the Cup and the presentations, it was disappointing to see the once great The Winning Post Enclosure Flemington reduced to a single storey facility. It was even sadder seeing the vast empty space at the rear where there was once 1600 people enjoying The Home Straight Enclosure with the gardens and live band.

Who knows the VRC may look at bringing them both back in 2023 although I am not confident. It's a shame as it is a great location to see all the races live unlike some of the new areas that you only see one or two live races past them.

Mercury Principle Events offers packages to most premium sporting events including the Australian Formula One Grand Prix, Cricket at the MCG and all the AFL games at the MCG and Marvel Stadium.

We look forward to hearing from you for any of these events.

Great AFL Seats for MCG & Marvel Stadium.

Instead of the Cup try the AFL we have a some great packages for all remaining games and the AFL Grand Final.

Check out these great games this weekend at the MCG and Marvel Stadium. Great Medallion Club Seats are available call us on 03 9425 9449. There is a small number of dining packages available for Collingwood v Carlton round 23 at The MCG.

For all those wishing to book Melbourne Cup Carnival hospitality this year, there are very few options available if you have booked previously in The Winning Post Enclosure, as their is no Winning Post Enclosure the new area in there is much smaller and only being offered as a sole use facility a minimum of 50 people. I will give a brief overview of a couple but availability is limited as so little product is being offered.

The Furphy Deck

It is the entry level product with cocktail food includes a beer and wine package. Bear in mind this product offers no protection from the elements apart from umbrellas, great if it is fine weather. Cup Day Sold Out other days available but numbers are limited.

The Riverside Bar & Bistro

A new facility is the Riverside Bar and Bistro it will be ok but please note you will only have 2 races actually run past you live on Cup and Derby days, one on other days as it is located on the back turn past the post and before the barriers on all but races over 2400M.

So if you are a keen Punter you are probably not going to be happy here. That is despite what the information says on the website see every race up close, well you will after all but two races are finished. Cup Day $970pp.

Makybe Diva Marquee

Good location with views over the track (not from in the marquee though) been around for 10+ years plated menu with beer and wine package. Cup Day $1200 very limited numbers. Other days still available.

The Parade Lounge

Is located adjacent to the Parade Ring and is a cocktail format with beverage package including Beer, Wine and soft drinks. Is a great location but viewing can be a bit hard as it is all one level unless your on the outside of the balcony but a great spot, close to everything. The price is $1125pp.

The Rose Room

An upmarket temporary restaurant built for the Cup Carnival, terraced tables of 12 and 12 giving views across the track. Located behind glass with a 5 course degustation menu from the Winning Post Enclosure caterer Atlantic Group. Offers standard spirits, beer wine and soft drinks. Has access to an outside viewing area on ground in front of marquee but not a deck as the Winning Post had.

There are other options above $1200 per person available.
To book any of these go to the the VRC website or Ticketmaster.

The Autumn "Long Lunch" it was also a chance to have a meeting with the VRC to discuss the 2022 Melbourne Cup in "The Home Straight and Winning Post Enclosures". Well that's what we said!

A quick update for The Winning Post and Home Straight Enclosures for the 2021 Melbourne Cup Carnival. It is doubtful with current COVID restrictions that there will be any hospitality available this year's event.

We have had a couple of calls from people saying that they have seen packages advertised elsewhere for The Melbourne Cup Carnival this year. If you do book any of these packages make sure they are fully refundable if the event doesn't go ahead and you don't merely get a credit for some future event.

The VRC are currently not offering any packages for sale so our recommendation is not to commit to anything without speaking to us or the VRC first.

We look forward to having you back on track in 2022.

Flashback. A lot has changed in the Winning Post Enclosure since 1996 when Mercury Principle Events started out there. Here is a pic from 1997 when all the marquees were soft sided with timber floors laid straight over the grass. We occasionally had to rip it up and replaces a few sheets if we had a lot of rain and the boards rotted through and broke. Ahh those were the days.

Only 50 days until the fun begins 📅

The menu tasting last night! Thanks for having us Atlantic Group🍬
