On the first Tuesday in November every year, it is held in Melbourne that is not only a city in the state of Victoria but also its capital.
Last year, I visited my friend Peter that lived in Melbourne. We went to watch the horse race after one of his gave him two tickets. When we arrived there, the number of people really surprised me. Peter told me all the people in Melbourne have a day and that schools and most businesses are closed on Melbourne Cup Day. At the scene(现场), we also saw a lot of women wearing beautiful hats and dresses.
What we liked most was certainly the horse race itself, It started at 3 pm and every rider had to try his best to keep the horse energetic in the 3, 200-me tre race. Finally, a horse named Cross Counter arrived at the finishing line than any other horse. According to Peter, the first race was held in 1861 and a horse named Archer became the winner that year.
