Melbourne Cup Carnival Tours Hosted By Des Coppins

Greetings everyone!

It’s that time again when we starting counting down to the greatest 2mins and 20 seconds in sport, the Lexus Melbourne Cup on the First Tuesday of November.

It’ll be my 36th tour with experienced tour operator Kel Munro (and his wife Marilyn) and the professional Sporting Tours operation.

Last year we invited multiple premiership winning jockey Lisa Allpress to be Co tour leader and by popular demand she’s with us again.

Lisa was a big hit with everyone. Her infectious personality and story telling, either individually or at the various functions, was a hit and she topped it off with a one on one chat with fellow champion jockey Michael Walker at the Cup Eve dinner.

“ I enjoyed every minute of last year and I’m excited to be asked to be Co host again, “ said Lisa ONZM who has not yet given up the opportunity to become the First Lady rider to win 2000 races.

She’s less than 50 away and the countless hospital visits to mend the leg break have thwarted her progress.

“I’m itching to get back on a horse again but in the meantime it’s a very pleasant distraction to potentially mix and mingle with another great group of people on this years tour,” she added.

Both Lisa and I would love you join us with a big team of passionate or casual racegoers; many who have been before or who will experience a well organised tour for the first time.

Welcome aboard!
