As of my last update in September 2021, the 2021 Melbourne Cup was attended by 10,000 spectators. Since then, the 2022 Melbourne Cup has taken place, but I don't have access to real-time information or event details.
For the most up-to-date and accurate information on attendance figures for the 2022 Melbourne Cup, I suggest checking official sources such as the Victorian Racing Club website or reputable news outlets.
