Rolling Stones rumours rife as Melbourne Cup day heats up
Published: 9:38AM Tuesday November 04, 2014 Source: ONE News/AAP

The Rolling Stones have reportedly knocked back a seven-figure offer to do a corporate event during Melbourne Cup Carnival.

Australian media are reporting that one of the world's most enduring rock bands have turned down "several million dollars ... to do corporate things".

The Stones, who arrived in Melbourne yesterday, will perform at Rod Laver Arena tomorrow, and Hanging Rock on Saturday.

They have been invited to the Melbourne Cup.

Meanwhile, Japanese stayer Admire Rakti remains the favourite in a Melbourne Cup field dominated by a record 11 international horses.

An expected 100,000 people will flock to Flemington Racecourse for Australia's richest horse race today.

Famous faces including Australian model Megan Gale, Bold and the Beautiful star Ron Moss and eighties band Spandau Ballet will be among those sipping champagne in the exclusive Birdcage enclosure.

Early indications for the weather are good, with a balmy 28C forecast for the 5pm race.

But a warning has been issued for powerful winds gusting at up to 100 km/h and an accompanying drop of 10C in the temperature at 7pm.

“What rap did that was impressive was to show there are so many tone-deaf people out there,” he says. “All they need is a drum beat and somebody yelling over it and they’re happy. There’s an enormous market for people who can’t tell one note from another.” - Keef

The Melbourne Cup is the Aussie equivalent to the Kentucky Derby. Very big deal down under.
