Excitement is brewing for another big Melbourne Cup Day races at the Wangaratta Turf Club tomorrow.

Bright and eclectic attire, quality time with friends and family, great food and wine, the adrenaline kick from the races - it's all at the Ovens Ford Melbourne Cup Day.

Such sentiments ring especially true for Wangaratta jockey Cassidy Hill, who has her sights set high as she prepares to ride in her maiden cup race day.

After making her racing debut earlier this year at Seymour, the recently licensed jockey has been making her mark in the industry, having taken out three wins in October alone.

She recently rode Big Day Out to win the 1000m Elders Spring Cup at Balranald and is hoping to taste more success tomorrow for Wangaratta trainer Craig Weeding.

Cassidy will ride The Village Fox in a maiden, and be aboard Patrick in a BM52 Handicap event.

It's the dream job for someone who's passion for the industry began when she was three, riding horses at home, and has evolved through years of dedication.

“At the start, I was nervous and a bit all over the place – I didn’t really know what to do in the races,” she admitted.

“But Craig put me on the right horses.

“It been quite a long process to get to here."

In addition to the track work there's been training in Melbourne, riding on mechanical horse, as well as fitness testing.

“It’s a very competitive program to get into,” Craig said.

He is also celebrating his own personal milestone, as he recently passed 200 wins.

"It's a good achievement," he said.

"We've got a lot of horses around us, and we're going to be focused on the next 200... it's always nice to get the job done.

"I believe that win with Big Day Out when Cass won was that 200th and also took us above five million in prize money earnings.

"So it was a good day all round."

Over the course of Weeding Racing’s establishment, Craig is pleased to see how far they’ve come.

“We started with the smaller stable and we’ve certainly got more numbers than we’ve ever had off the back of the success we’ve had over the last few years,” he said.

“The quality of the horse we’ve got has increased as well."
