It’s been a tough few years for the Melbourne Cup thanks to Covid restrictions and cancellations, but this year’s event was back with a vengeance as thousands of punters headed to Flemington.
This year’s Melbourne Cup entertainment features an all-Australian line up including Australian indie pop powerhouse Sheppard and Men at Work’s Colin Hay, who will perform Down Under.
Australian singer Cody Simpson, 25, (pictured) will face his biggest challenge yet, singing the National Anthem in front of the whole nation at the Melbourne Cup Carnival on Tuesday
Cody Simpson also has the honour of performing the National Anthem.
‘It’s an immense honour,’ the 25-year-old told Daily Mail Australia on Monday. ‘It’s the first time I’ve ever done it, I couldn’t be asked to do something more prestigious.’
The singer-turned-swimmer also gave an updated on his recording career – and what the future may hold.
‘Music’s still a massive part of my life and I train full time, but everybody needs something to help balance them out, and music for me is just that,’ he explained.
‘I still play guitar pretty much every single day to relax, and I certainly will be jumping around back to music once I’m done with the pool.’
‘It’s an immense honour,’ Cody told Daily Mail Australia on Monday. ‘It’s the first time I’ve ever done it, I couldn’t be asked to do something more prestigious’
‘It’s definitely been a couple years since I’ve performed in front of this many people. I’m a little nervous, but you’re always nervous before doing something great.’
Cody last visited Flemington in 2015.
VRC Chairman Neil Wilson said Simpson was an inspired choice.
‘Cody is an inspiring young Australian who shows us that when you work hard and put your mind to something, anything is possible and you can achieve your dreams.’

While punters in Melbourne woke up to glorious weather this morning, it isn’t expected to stay this way all day – with a rain bomb expected to hit the track at some stage as well as freezing temperatures.
The Bureau of Meteorology’s morning update said there was a 95 per cent chance of showers arriving in Melbourne from late morning, with possible hail, and that could develop into a thunderstorm by afternoon or early evening.
In Sydney, racegoers heading to Randwick Racecourse will fare much better with a mostly sunny day and a top of 24C.
