What is the biggest recurring event in Australia?
Certainly one of the many sporting finals (in particular the AFL grand final) would have a good chance of being called the biggest but I think the Melbourne Cup could take it on the basis on not being so fragmented across the country like all our codes of football. Its not called The Race That Stops a Nation for nothing.You will find just about every office in Australia will have some sort of sweepstakes/drinks/lunch and will watch or listen to the race that happens at 3 pm on the first Tuesday of November.The crowd at Flemington Racecourse is well over 100,000 (although in the last few years they've have been keeping the numbers down from the record of 122,00 in 2003) and if you have ever tried walking around the city at 3 PM you will notice there is a distinct lack of people around as everyone tries to cram into the nearest pub or place with a TV to watch it.You will find for a lot of people its the only time during the year they will gamble. As its a handicapped race over a long distance and with lots of horses in the running the favourite often has a tough battle ahead to win the $3.3 million first prize so even if you get an outsider in the office sweepstakes you have a chance.
