The Fox’s Fifi, Fev & Nick brought their Melbourne Cup special indoors yesterday at Crown Melbourne, turning the rain into an energetic indoor celebration. Instead of letting the weather spoil the event, they hosted a lively pre-Cup party full of laughter, live music, and celebrity appearances.
The broadcast aired live from 5–7pm, replacing their usual Breakfast show hours. More than 500 guests gathered on the Crown Atrium rooftop, where Fifi Box, Brendan Fevola, Nick Cody, Gai Waterhouse, Victoria Racing Club CEO Kylie Rogers, and Dave “Hughesy” Hughes all took part in the festivities.
It looks like the drizzle yesterday was a precursor for a cold, wet, and windy race that stops the nation today.
Fifi, Fev & Nick continue to air on Melbourne's 101.9 The Fox from 6-9am on weekdays and are also available on LiSTNR.
