Spring Racing Carnival's marquees up the ante

SOME OTHER THINGS, THIS YEAR, ARE NEW….

At Caulfield, the Malibu Pool Deck presented by Bondi Sands picks up on the hint of Malibu theme, and offers a pool and view of the home straight. There will also be Malibu-inspired cocktails to be had. New major sponsor is Stella Artois, and Lindy Ellis-Rama is the Stella Artois Caulfield Cup Carnival ambassador.

At Flemington, Rebecca Harding acts as racing ambassador for the new Seppelt Wines marquee, which also has the two-storey Seppelt Bar in The Park. "They're looking into ways they can tap into a different, younger audience, and they're the naming sponsor for Stakes Day. They've thought out what they want to achieve from having a presence at the carnival."

The Lexus Design Pavilion has a different Birdcage position, and will host Elle Macpherson on Derby Day. Lexus is now the principal partner of the VRC with naming rights for the Melbourne Cup, and its three-level marquee will reflect that, featuring a 2.5m x 2.5m bespoke horse sculpture within.
