Ascot Races - Betting Tips & Previews
Ascot sits at the heart of Western Australian thoroughbred racing, with the Perth venue taking over from Belmont through the warmer months and staging many of the biggest meetings on the state's racing calendar.
The spring and early-summer program is dominated by The Pinnacles, including three Group 1 contests in successive weeks — the Railway Stakes on November 21, Winterbottom Stakes on November 28 and Northerly Stakes on December 5 — before the carnival continues with Gold Rush Day and ultimately the Perth Cup on New Year's Day.
Ascot remains a major focus through autumn, when feature racing includes the WA Oaks, WA Derby and Karrakatta Plate, alongside several other black-type races and major race days.
Whether you're looking for race dates, betting tips, form guides, fields, race previews, results or the latest horse racing news, you'll find everything you need for Ascot race meetings right here.
