Racecourse Guide
Situated on the banks of the River Tay, Perth has become increasingly popular and has almost doubled its allocation from 7 days of racing a year in the 1980s to 12 or 13 today. Fixtures are arranged to suit the tourist season, mainly between April and September, with the three-day Perth Festival in late April the highlight. The featured Highland National is one of the longest staying chases in the calendar over three and three-quarter miles. Other significant Festival races include the Listed Gold Castle ‘National Hunt’ Novices’ Hurdle and the Listed Fair Maid of Perth Mares’ Chase.
The big summer highlight is the Perth Gold Cup at the June fixture. The Silver Cup, over two miles, is run on the same June card. The main event of the August meeting is the Stone of Destiny Handicap Hurdle.
Perth is a right handed track of about ten furlongs with eight fences on each circuit. It is a flat track with wide sweeping turns which suits front runners on good ground. Conditions can become very testing which brings stamina into play. The fences are fair but the omission of the water jump in front of the stands on the final circuit leaves a long run-in. Jockeys can sometimes be guilty of kicking for home too soon and it is a long way to the winning post.
Dining, Hospitality & Facilities
Perth offers a great variety of Hospitality packages to suit all tastes and budgets. Private hospitality boxes and corporate and marquee hospitality are available; see the racecourse website for current packages. Restaurant bookings can be made for 1908, next to the Parade Ring in the Club Stand, and The Galileo Restaurant on the top floor of the Nelson Stand. You can also book a Picnic Ticket which allows entry into the Picnic Enclosure for those wishing to bring their own food.
Racegoers travelling by road from Carlisle and the south should take the Perth bypass before turning left immediately after crossing the Friarton Bridge. Perth Railway Station is about three miles from the course, around 10 to 12 minutes by taxi. On race days a shuttle bus runs to the track from Perth Concert Hall, and bus tickets can be bought online with your entry tickets.
Tickets
You can purchase your Perth racing tickets directly through the website for upcoming fixtures. These include Early Bird Grandstand Entry, and racegoers who need an essential companion qualify for a Concession Ticket.
