Watch Anthony Minichiello Get Ready For Lexus Melbourne Cup

It’s one of the biggest race meets of the Spring Racing calendar and the highlight of Cup Week. Access to the Lexus Design Pavilion is the most coveted of tickets and getting through the gates a restricted, sometimes impossible, affair. For some it means a day at the track, for others, a day at the pub and for the rest of us, an hour or two huddled around the TV in the office screaming for ‘Goodnight Sweetheart’ to come in. As such, the Lexus Melbourne Cup holds a special place in the heart of many Australians, no more so than for rugby star Anthony Minichiello. Held on the first Tuesday of November at 3pm sharp, Minichiello sees the day as an opportunity to get dressed up in his finest and show a little flair. After a morning dip to start the day, we follow Minichiello as he heads to MJ Bale to get race ready. Lexus Melbourne Cup Day is a less rigid affair than say Derby Day, so it offers ample opportunity to wear something bold and bright. Minichiello opts for a navy check suit with some patterned accessories and a crisp white shirt. Traditionally, dress on the Lexus Melbourne Cup Day favours the colour yellow but that doesn’t mean you have to stick to that. And of course, Minichiello sees the preparation before hand as part of the experience of Cup day itself.
