About Ascot
Ascot is Western Australia's flagship racecourse, hosting the prestigious Railway Stakes and Perth Cup carnival during the southern hemisphere summer.
The right-handed track (one of the few in Australia) provides a unique challenge, with its 350-metre straight and well-maintained surface attracting the best WA-trained horses.
Perth's geographical isolation creates a distinct racing ecosystem — locally trained specialists dominate, though interstate raiders occasionally target the summer carnival.

Ascot Track Characteristics
The right-handed layout is unusual in Australian racing — horses that handle this configuration are track specialists.
The 350-metre straight provides a moderate advantage to on-pace runners, though genuine closers with sufficient room can prevail.
Perth's dry climate means the track often races on the Firm side, favouring horses that handle fast ground.
The 2,064-metre circumference is generous enough for fair racing, though barrier draws remain important in sprints.
