And they're racing now ...

All eyes will be on Flemington racecourse this afternoon, for the 2009 running of Australia's most famous horse race - the Melbourne Cup. It's all about the thrills, the wagers ... and of course, the fashion, which we're celebrating in our special Melbourne Cup 2009 Google Doodle.

If Google search trends are anything to go by, fashion generally noses out horses as a hot search topic ... but today wouldn't be complete without them both. Enjoy the day!
