Bring the excitement of Cup Day to your workplace, club or function.
Celebrate Australia's biggest race with my professionally called Melbourne Cup Phantom Call that's guaranteed to have your guests cheering before the real Melbourne Cup jumps.
Whether you're hosting an office lunch, sporting club function, corporate event, hotel or community celebration, this interactive race creates excitement, laughter and friendly competition.
Why book a Phantom Race before the Melbourne Cup?
One of the biggest challenges of Melbourne Cup functions is entertaining guests before the big race.
People arrive early, enjoy lunch and drinks—but there's often a lull before the Melbourne Cup itself.
A professionally called Phantom Race fills that gap perfectly, creating excitement, conversation and plenty of laughs while building anticipation for the main event.
Build the excitement before the big race!
Every Melbourne Cup function has one challenge.
Guests arrive early, enjoy lunch, catch up with friends and colleagues… then everyone waits for the big race.
A Melbourne Cup Phantom Race is the perfect way to fill that time with excitement, laughter and friendly competition.
Professionally called by me, the race captures the atmosphere of a real Melbourne Cup, getting everyone involved before the actual Melbourne Cup itself is run.
Whether you're hosting an office luncheon, sporting club celebration, hotel event or corporate function, a Phantom Race helps create an occasion your guests will remember.
