Melbourne came to Mosgiel today as horse raising and fashion came together on cup day.
While numbers appeared down a little on last year, spirits were good and the racing quick at the Melbourne Cup Day at the Wingatui Race Course.
Otago Racing club chief executive Rebecca Adlam described the event as ''a huge success''.
Sgt Boyd Smart, of Mosgiel, said behaviour had been good at the event, with just one arrest for disorder by mid-afternoon.
