The Melbourne Cup has not failed to live up to its reputation for drunken debauchery, with revellers flashing their undies, falling over and brawling on the grass.
Three people were evicted for bad behaviour and two were arrested for drunkenness, while security guards removed four other intoxicated patrons.
Police arrested a woman for assaulting an anti-racing protester outside the ground and are searching for two other women linked to the assault.
Separately, a Manus Island activist was arrested for parking a car on the train tracks, while another two scaled a crane to hang a banner.
But it was the silly behaviour that really caught the eye, with racegoers body-slamming, rolling on the ground and giving each other piggy-backs.
