The Melbourne Cup coming to Allora - now how did that happen?
It’s a BIG thanks to Perry Cronin from the Sports Museum.

Step 1 Submit a tender to host the 2021 Lexus Melbourne Cup Tour (LMCT)
Step 2 Victoria Racing Club receives tenders from across Australia and New Zealand
Step 3 Advise the winning Tenders
Step 4 Advise Perry that the tender for Allora was UNsuccessful
Step 5 Not wise to advise Perry of that decision
Step 6 Perry straight on the phone to question the decision
Step 7 Don’t you want to view the best Sports Museum and enjoy Allora’s wonderful hospitality?
Step 8 Change of mind - VRC is delighted to announce that Allora Sports Museum has been selected to host the 2021 Lexus Melbourne Cup Tour - Congratulations!
The Tour is scheduled to visit Allora (as a ‘pop-up’) on Tuesday 28th September for 2 hours only between 12 and 2pm at the Allora Regional Sports Museum.
So Allora - get ready to welcome this historic event and view The Cup that stops a nation!
