The Fox’s Fifi, Fev & Nick did not let a bit of rain spoil their Melbourne Cup special live broadcast from Crown Melbourne. Instead, they moved the celebration indoors, hosting a lively pre-Cup event filled with laughter, live music, and celebrity guests.
The broadcast aired live from 5–7pm, replacing their usual Breakfast show hours. Over 500 guests gathered on the Crown Atrium rooftop, enjoying the company of Fifi Box, Brendan Fevola, Nick Cody, Gai Waterhouse, Victoria Racing Club Chief Executive Officer Kylie Rogers, and Dave “Hughesy” Hughes.
The event featured live performances by ARIA Award-winning duo PNAU and Cyril. The crowd also enjoyed giveaways, live interviews, and the final public viewing of The People’s Cup, the three-handled Lexus Melbourne Cup trophy.
It looks like the drizzle yesterday was a precursor for a cold, wet and windy race that stops the nation today.
