St Mary’s School, Lancefield, was proud to host the iconic gold trophy as part of the 2024 Lexus Melbourne Cup Tour.

The visit included a blessing, some up-close time with Melbourne Cup-winning horses, and a horse-drawn coach down the main street.

Students excitedly took photos with the Cup and heard from jockey Damian Oliver about the history of ‘the race that stops a nation’.

TV’s Allan Raskall attended the event and caught up with principal Gabe Agius who shared her excitement and pride at showcasing everything that St Mary's and Lancefield have to offer.
