The 2022 Melbourne Cup field has been locked in following the barrier draw on Saturday, with the race set to get underway later today, starting at 3pm (AEDT) on Tuesday, November 1 at the Flemington Racecourse.
The field will consist of 22 horses after Point Nepean withdrew on Monday after the full field had been named, due to an elevated blood result; while Lunar Flare was scratched on Cup Day morning after presenting with lameness.
They will traverse a distance of 3,200 metres for Australia’s most coveted racing trophy.
