Flemington is one of the world's premier racecourses. In the 160 years that the flats beside the Maribynong River have been used for racing, Flemington has transformed into one of the most famous and challenging courses on the international racing circuit. Legendary horses including Phar Lap have run at Flemington and each year the racecourse continues to host the fashion and famous racing identities that come to the race that stops a nation, the Melbourne Cup.

Flemington was included in the National Heritage List on 7 November 2006.
