When is the Melbourne Cup? The current race record is 3:16.3 which was set by Kingston Rule in 1990. Cup will run, COVID or no COVID ... August 9, 2020 — 12.00am. The Victoria Racing Club is determined to run the Melbourne Cup this year, even if it is held behind closed doors due to the coronavirus pandemic.The commitment comes after Moonee Valley Racing Club’s chief executive Michael Browell said his club would consider not staging the 100th running of Cox Plate this year if it could not be run in front of a crowd at The Valley in October.Racing in Australia is continuing through the COVID-19 crisis with crowd lockouts and only essential staff attending meetings.Wilson said it was incumbent upon the VRC to provide the Cup as a platform of enjoyment for not only the people of Australia but also the world.He pointed out the Melbourne Cup has a reach of 750 million people around the globe.“They are not there year by year anyway so they are still an audience we want to reach,” Wilson told RSN927.“Obviously that would be a disappointing outcome not to have the crowds there, but a more disappointing outcome is that the COVID-19 safety position is such that we can’t run the Cup at all.The $8 million prize pool for the Cup is something the VRC is considering.Wilson said holding prize money at the same level as last year “didn’t quite sit right with the VRC” while people were losing their jobs.While the VRC has not yet ruled out international competitors at this year’s carnival, Wilson said in the current state it was difficult to see how that will play out.“Regardless of whether there is a strong, or any, international contingent, we’ll have a great field,” Wilson said.“Maybe that’s the characteristic of this year’s Cup, that Australian feel of getting back into the game with an Australian “We are looking to make this a very special day, a special week, and it comes on the back of a very difficult time for a lot of people.”

Although the effect of COVID-19 on all sectors, particularly sports and cultural events, has been severe, the VRC is planning for the Melbourne Cup Carnival to go ahead as it has done for almost 160 years. The Victoria Racing Club insists the Melbourne Cup will go ahead on the first Tuesday in November.
