scav, they have both down there, bookies and pari.. flemington is supposed to be quite easy to get to on the train from melbourne and like they do on most big events, they let them all in and worry about things later.. alot of people have said that while the Melbourne Cup is class and a huge event, to really see Flemington and the Spring Carnival at its best, you should go the previous Saturday or at least a non-first Tuesday of the month..
