The Victoria Racing Club (VRC), a privately owned Australian company founded in 1864, is a major horse racing organizer. Employing approximately 270 people, the VRC annually hosts 25 race meetings, most notably the internationally recognized Melbourne Cup. With over 30,000 members, it claims to be the world's largest member-based racing club. In 2023, the VRC's revenue was below $250 million.
Racing Victoria's chief handicapper David Hegan announced weights for the $10 million event on Tuesday, October 24. Al Riffa, the winner of the Group 1 Irish St Leger, and Via Sistina were named joint topweights, with Al Riffa considered more likely to compete at Flemington on November 4. The VRC announced a new honorary membership for all Cup-winning jockeys and trainers on an unspecified date, to celebrate their contributions to the Melbourne Cup's history. A separate story discussed the process of choosing a hat for a race day, focusing on the balance between personal style and the outfit. Another story detailed a morning event offering access to racing facilities, horse interactions, and various activities including pony rides and a photo opportunity with the 1955 Melbourne Cup.
