How to get to the track
At day’s end the queue at the racecourse taxi rank will be at least an hour too. Go like the locals — take the train. There’s a station right at Flemington Racecourse. Just get a valid Metcard first.
How to place a bet
The key terms any punter needs to know are these: “Win” — you bet on which horse comes first. “Place” — it has to finish first, second or third. “Each way” — you’re having a win and a place bet so saying “$5 each way” is a $10 bet. The second thing to know — be quick. With $140 million wagered on the Cup around Australia last year, people in line behind don’t want you fiddling. But remember the age-old advice to gamblers: “Only bet what you can afford to lose.”
