SunLive is offering you the chance to be trackside for the Melbourne Cup. Thanks to the organisers of the Official New Zealand Emirates Melbourne Cup Event, we are sending two lucky readers to the Cambridge Melbourne Cup Day 2009 at Cambridge Raceway on Tuesday November 3.

Each ticket is valued at $125 and includes a spot in the VIP lounge where you'll enjoy a long buffet lunch and open bar from 11.30am and nibbles at 5pm. Promotional staff and celebrities will be there to mingle with the crowd and maximise your fun.

On the day you can watch the big race live and enjoy all day entertainment. There will be a fashion show, parade and competition, with first prize return airfares and VIP tickets to the 2010 Emirates Melbourne Cup.
Entertainment includes a horse show, helicopter rides, and aerobatic air show, charity auction and a wedding on the green. TAB facilities are available. Gates open at 11am and close at 6pm. Cambridge Travel Lines is also offering a bus to and from Tauranga for the event, for those who do not want to drive.

To go into the draw to win one of the two tickets, email [email protected] with the subject line 'SunLive Cambridge Melbourne Cup Day Competition” and tell us the day and date of this year's Melbourne Cup.
