It’s that time of the year again: Melbourne Cup wild antics caught on camera
At last year’s race, no crowds were permitted because of COVID concerns.
This year, Cup Day might look a little different as thousands of vaccinated punters get loose and drink free-flowing beer to their heart’s content.
The Melbourne Cup ran at 3 pm yesterday — the only time when it seems socially acceptable to be this hilariously chaotic.
Let’s take a look back at some photos of Cup Day over the years:
