the biggest day on the racing calendar deserves a SOUL-sized celebration. melbourne cup day is on sale!
ask anyone and they’ll tell you that melbourne cup is australia’s race. not entirely true. between 1947 and 2001, new zealand-bred horses won 33 of 55 melbourne cups — and six times, they didn’t just win, they swept the entire podium. first, second, AND third. not bad for a little country across the ditch.
so this cup day, it’s time to raise a glass to a rivalry as legendary as the race itself and celebrate like true winners at auckland’s most glamorous waterfront destination.
we’re bringing the style, excitement, and electric atmosphere of cup day to the viaduct with an afternoon of champagne, fashion, fabulous food, and all the racing action live on the big screens.
what’s on the card:
- the welcome — a flute of g.h. mumm champagne on arrival
- the feast — a knockout 4-course lunch from the SOUL kitchen team
- the action — every race, loud and live on the big screens
- the tab — tab will be on site so you can get involved in all the race-day action
- the fashion — win one of SOUL’s famous “fashion on the field” hampers
- the fun — spot prizes, sweeps, and race-day games
- the after-party — stay on for celebration cocktails, dj’s on the dancefloor, and the unmistakable buzz of melbourne cup day at SOUL.
frocks, fascinators, fizz, and a finish line party. we’ll see you at the viaduct.
