Perth Racing, which manages Ascot Racecourse and Belmont Park, is a club that never sleeps. As Western Australia’s only metropolitan club, Perth Racing hosts over 90 meetings per season, as well as many non-raceday events such as industry conferences and company functions.

Ascot Racecourse is more than just a racetrack; it’s also a training facility. More than 500 horses are put through their preliminary paces on the Ascot Racecourse gallops during a typical week, and the venue has played an important role in the development of several champions, including two-time WS Cox Plate winner Northerly, the ‘Fighting Tiger’, of whom there is an imposing statue next to the venue’s Flametree Lawn.

Belmont Park is located within a torpedo punt of the highly acclaimed Optus Stadium and is currently the centre of WA’s largest urban regeneration project, the $3.8bn redevelopment of the land surrounding the racecourse by developers Golden Sedayu.Proposals for the development include 4,500 new dwellings, a 30,000sqm shopping precinct, luxury hotel and over 110,000sqm of public open space.

Get ready for WA’s richest ever raceday! The Quokka is back for its second year – bigger and better than ever. The headline event for the Autumn Racing Carnival, the day features the $5M Quokka slot race, the Amelia Park-Karrakatta Plate, Fashions on the Field, and a live band after the last race.

This will be a SUPER SATURDAY of sport – once the sun sets on WA’s biggest slot race, the action kicks off at Optus Stadium for the AFL Derby.
