Best Answer

The Melbourne Cup is commonly called 'the race that stops a nation".This is because it is believed everyone stops what he/she is doing and watches or listens to the Melbourne Cup, whether live, on television, or listening to the radio. This is, of course, not the case: despite the iconic status of the Melbourne Cup, not everyone has an interest.
