Channel 10 has confirmed Caty Price and Michael Felgate as the new co-hosts for its four-day Melbourne Cup coverage in 2021.
The new combination of Price and Felgate are set to be joined by former Melbourne Cup winning jockey Michelle Payne for the 2021 coverage of the carnival.
With COVID lockdown’s continuing across the city, it’s still unconfirmed if any spectators will be able to attend Melbourne’s biggest race day. Last years coverage was presented from 10’s Melbourne studio complex by Gorgi Coghlan and Stephen Quartermain.
Channel 10’s coverage begins with AAMI Victoria Derby Day on Saturday, 30 October, followed by Lexus Melbourne Cup Day on Tuesday, 2 November, Kennedy Oaks Day on Thursday, 4 November and the Mackinnon Stakes Day on Saturday, 6 November.
Covering all the action from the Mounting Yard and beyond will be racing experts David Gately, James Winks, and Brittany Taylor.
Respected form analyst Francesca Cumani is expected to join the coverage via satellite from the UK.
