Victoria Oaks 2019 – A massive day Racing during Melbourne Cup Week Carnival
In recent years, Oaks Day has seen massive crowds to rival that of the other two big race meetings during the Melbourne Cup Week Carnival of Derby Day and Melbourne Cup. Much like the Victoria Derby, Oaks Day often provides a staying star of the future.
The 2015 winner Jameka, has gone on to be a super mare with wins in the Caulfield Cup 2016 during the 2016 Melbourne Spring Racing Carnival and the BMW in the Sydney Autumn Racing Carnival 2019.
Oaks Day or Ladies Day at Flemington Racecourse
The other interesting fact of Oaks Day is its capacity to gain massive crowds despite being on a workday and the third race meeting in six days as part of the Melbourne Cup Carnival.
It regularly has crowds in excess of 70,000 and whilst it is commonly known as Ladies Day has in recent times been more known as “Blokes Day”!
