Where to watch the Melbourne Cup in LA

Hi All,

Does anyone know if there are any places in LA to watch the Melbourne Cup? I may be able to watch it on cable TV from where I'm staying. However, if anyone knows of any places where Aussie expats hang-out I'd prefer the atmosphere of watching with other Australians.

Thank-you.

    Hi,

    Melbourne Cup 2015 is Tuesday 3, November (AEST).

    I did notice an iPhone App called A+ Expats:
    Australia Plus TV
    https://itunes.apple.com/au/app/australia-plus-expats/id9882…

    If I think of anywhere you can go in LA to watch the race, I'll post it.

  • Thanks, holdenmg. That would be much appreciated as I tried searching on the net for a place without much luck.

  • You can always watch it from Racing.com from any location if you can't get it on cable. I tried with a VPN server located in LA and it seems to play fine.

    As for actual physical locations I can't help you there sorry. :P

  • Hi again.

    I managed to find:
