    Traditional Kilmore Cups on a Monday afternoon were great in the day and usually featured the fist 2 year old events of the season. Crowds were always huge and it had a great picnic atmosphere.

    However, NZ Cup Day is more akin to VRC Derby Day; people dress up to the nines and the crowd has Addington bursting at the seams.

    Kilmore Cups of old were more like an end of year footy trips, with half the crowd in a done-for before the first leg of the daily double. Great day, but lacking somewhat in class. Not that this matters, everybody enjoyed themselves some just a bit more than is sociably acceptable today.

    I've never noticed much "class" at Derby or Melbourne Cup days. Just barefooted drunk once a year punters riding wheelie bins in a sea of vomit !
    Don't die wondering !

    Been a long time since I've been to the Spring Carnival, but you're right Rick. They start the day pretty and end up pretty ugly. Best summed up by the Kath and Kim episode when Kim says "Mum! You've got carrot in your fascinator!"

    Yuk.
