\"Victoria<\/p>\n

The time-honoured Victoria Derby is the blue-chip race for three-year-old stayers during the spring and is held on Day 1 of Flemington’s iconic Melbourne Cup Carnival.<\/p>\n

The VRC Derby runs as part of Derby Day, which is known as a day for racing purists with all events on the card holding Group status. Derby Day is also when the punters show up in black and white attire and takes place on the Saturday prior to Melbourne Cup Day, which is held on the first Tuesday of November each year.<\/p>\n

The same day in Sydney, Rosehill Gardens hosts its own huge race meeting headlined by the $10 million The Golden Eagle<\/a> and also featuring the $750,000 Rosehill Gold Cup<\/a> (2000m) along with the $3 million Russell Balding Stakes (1300m).<\/p>\n

Contested over 2500m, the Victoria Derby is a set weights event run and won since 1855. A stallion-making race, it now offers $2 million in prize money and no filly has won since Frances Tressady (1923) with most opting to take on their own kind two days later in the VRC Oaks.<\/p>\n

The Moonee Valley Vase <\/a>is a key lead-up into the Victoria Derby with Efficient (2006) the last to do the double.<\/p>\n
