Melbourne Cup Race Time 2011
With the 2011 Melbourne Cup fast approaching, one of the most asked questions here at Sports Planet is "What time is the Melbourne Cup?"
This year Australia's famous race is being run at 3pm Melbourne time, and as always it's on the first Tuesday in November. If you're heading to Flemington for the big day, get there early as the action starts at 10:20am with the first race of the day, the Ottowa Stakes.
For those of you celebrating the day somewhere else, and with the Melbourne Cup start time being scheduled for 3pm, be sure to get your sweepstake tickets and bets on early to avoid the rush. If you really want to avoid the rush and queues, take advantage of the online betting availabilty for the Cup (and the free betting offers available) through one of the Australian online betting agencies.
