The 2016 William Cox Plate Carnival has begun and thousands of people have streamed into Moonee Valley Racecourse.
The main event, the $3 million Group 1 William Hill Cox Plate over 2040 metres, will take place at about 5pm.
Off the track, there is plenty to keep the crowd entertained including live music.
However, racegoers are advised to brace themselves for poor weather conditions today.
It is expected to be the equal coldest Cox Plate Carnival ever, featuring cold, wet and windy conditions.
