Les Smith, Bernard Humphreys and Tom Dennis were at the finish line, among the crowd, in the betting ring and anywhere in between, to capture the atmosphere that was Gold Cup Day.
The Gold Cup race was won by Fawkner Park with Riverina jockey Tyler Schiller capturing his first Cup win in front of friends and family.
Fashions on the Field went off without a hitch with plenty of colour, sophistication and DIY dresses.
Reporter Taylor Dodge captured the moment Lady of the Day Kat Lemech reacted with surprise and tears when she was announced as the winner.
You can relive all the action via The Daily Advertiser's live blog filled with videos and pictures from the carnival.
