Ep 298 - Joe McGrath - The Lexus Melbourne Cup tour

The Lexus Melbourne Cup, the race that stops a nation is run every year on the first Tuesday in November but what many people don’t know is that the Cup travels around the globe for nearly six months promoting the iconic race.   In this episode I was joined by Joe McGrath, the Lexus Melbourne Cup tour manager, the keeper of the cup as he is affectionately known, to talk about the cup’s journey during 2024 to schools, towns, cities, businesses, and famous racecourses.   The Melbourne Cup retains a special fascination with the Australian public both young and old.  First run in 1861 the people’s cup is more than just a race, it’s a cultural event in Australia and there is no one better to tell the story than, Joe McGrath, the man who always knows where the cup is!   Interview date 20 September.
