Today’s horse racing will see a quality line up of seven TAB race meetings across the country including the rescheduled Melbourne Cup Carnival Preview Day at Flemington featuring the Turnbull Stakes.

Melbourne Cup Carnival Preview Day at Flemington was moved back a day from Saturday 2nd October to Sunday 3rd October in order to prevent a clash with the AFL Grand Final Replay. The Flemington meeting will commence at 12 noon with the Group 1 $500,000 Turnbull Stakes (2000m) headlining a nine race card where all races carry Group or Listed status.

The other race meetings today are at Benalla in Victoria, Muswellbrook and Cootamundra in New South Wales, Sunshine Coast in Queensland, Northam in Western Australia and Port Lincoln in South Australia.
