If last year's Melbourne Cup's "girl in the blue dress" was remembered for all the wrong reasons, this year's "lady in blue" may be remembered for the right reasons.
A very happy racegoer smartly outfitted in a navy blue dress and a dainty straw fascinator appeared to dominate Cup coverage in photographs of her fun day at the races.
The young blonde lady attracted the attention of different photographers who captured her enthusiastic Cup Day antics in images that went around the world overnight.
In several pictures snapped on course, the girl can be seen horsing it up atop a wheelie bin, lying with a friend in the rough and generally revelling in the day at Flemington.
