All-Star lineup for Super Saturday at Flemington

From just $30, racegoers can access all of this across a 10-race card, seven races at Group level including the Group 1 $2.5 million The All-Star Mile (1600m) and the Group 1 $1.5 million Yulong Newmarket Handicap (1200m).

The All-Star Mile features five Group 1 winners, a rematch between superstars Mr Brightside and Another Wil, Chris Waller’s brilliant mare Atishu and James Cummings’ challenger Tom Kitten.

One lucky winner will walk away with $100,000 thanks to The All-Star Mile Owner Ambassador competition with seven everyday Australians who attended previous Flemington race days selected at random including 76-year old grandmother Rhonda, and young Mum Chelsey who entered via a promotion with The Fox.

The Yulong Newmarket Handicap is a time-honoured tradition with 15 horses in the running for the 152^nd edition. Among the leading contenders are Group 1 winning mares Benedetta and Joliestar, up against horses such as Arkansaw Kid, with his jockey Craig Newitt aiming for a record four wins in the Yulong Newmarket Handicap.

There is added meaning to the Yulong Newmarket Handicap, with the winning jockey also taking home the Dean Holland Trophy. The special trophy was created in memory of the late Dean Holland who won the 2023 Yulong Newmarket Handicap aboard In Secret.

Other key races are the Group 2 TAB World Pool Kewney Stakes (1600m) where the Crown Oaks winner Treasurethe Moment is a firm favourite, the Group 2 MSS Security Sires' Produce Stakes (1400m) with Blue Diamond placegetter Tycoon Star and the TAB Australian Cup Prelude (2000m) featuring Caulfield Cup winner Duke De Sessa.

FEAST by Melbourne Food and Wine Festival adds an extra dimension to the day with a precinct on the front lawn full of delectable bites from Spanish Tapas at MoVida, bold Argentinian flavours from San Telmo, Italian from Tipo 00 and Lee Ho Fook's famous Chinese cuisine.

The precinct also hosts kids' activities and across the day, racegoers can buy tickets for the Good Friday Appeal raffle. All proceeds support The Royal Children’s Hospital’s ground-breaking research, state-of-the-art equipment, and family centered care programs.

In recognition of International Women’s Day, The Victorian Wakeful Club will host its annual ‘Lady of Racing’ award to acknowledge outstanding females in the racing industry. Nominees include the VRC’s Racing Stakeholder Executive, Rebecca Cassar, Managing Director - Kick Collective, Vicky Leonard, and trainer, Gwenda Johnstone.

Racegoers can also enjoy $15 glasses of G.H. Mumm Champagne all day across retail bars and dining venues.

VRC Chief Executive Officer Kylie Rogers said there were plenty of reasons to get to Flemington this Saturday.

“Super Saturday has a everything racegoers love about Flemington – Group 1 racing with the stars of the sport on show including Mr Brightside, great food and wine selection in the relaxed FEAST outdoor setting, glorious weather and a plethora of kids' activities,” Ms Rogers said.

“We’re expecting 14,000 people to join us on what is also International Women’s Day, where we celebrate the contribution of all women in racing.”
