[offsite:35ydiym0]The Melbourne Cup was first run on 7th November 1861 over a distance of two miles.
The winner, Archer (6/1), there was 17 in the field. First prize was a gold watch and £170. Previous Winners
His was the slowest winning time yet recorded for the race (3:52). The Cup was first presented to a winner in 1916. Since 1875 the race has been run on the first Tuesday in November.
This Melbourne Cup race attracted just 4000 people. Over the next 20 years over 100,000 people would come to see the race.
The largest ever attendance was in 2003 when more than 123,000 people attended and saw Makybe Diva win the Melbourne Cup.
In 1972 the race was converted to the metric distance of 3200 metres which is 18.69 metres or 61.30 feet short of two miles.[/offsite:35ydiym0]
