Highly-respected trackwork rider Joe Agresta will help share in the magic of the Cup when it makes a stop on the South Coast for the 15th Annual Emirates Melbourne Cup Tour.
Agresta spent 34 years riding work at Flemington for Cummings, who has won a record 12 Melbourne Cups.
He played a crucial role at Cummings’ Melbourne base in the lead-up to the Spring Carnival before resigning from the position in 2014.
The tour will begin with a private breakfast at the Shoalhaven City Surf Club before stopping by a local aged care facility and schools.
The tour will then conclude at the Archer Hotel where it will be possible for the members of the community to get up close to the Cup.
