The Melbourne Cup DVD (PAL)
Running time : approx. 180 minutes Aspect ratio: 4:3 Region: 4 (see below) Format: PAL Rated: G For general exhibition
It's the richest handicap in the world, a race which brings Australia and New Zealand to a halt on the first Tuesday each November. It's the Melbourne Cup over a gruelling 3200 metres at Flemington, the ultimate Australian race for any horse to win. If you can say you've won the Cup you are part of Australian folklore. But it is more than a race, it is also a festival involving people, fashions, pomp and pageantry. It's all here from the beginning in 1861 - the joy and the tears, the happiness and the heartbreak - the ultimate racing video for anyone with even a scant interest in the turf.
This DVD is PAL format and coded Region 4 for play back in Australia, New Zealand, Central America, the Caribbean, Mexico, Oceania, and South America. It is has a G general exhibition classification.
