Belmont Racecourse

Belmont racecourse is Perth racing's winter race track and is also known as 'Belmont Park'. It is considered to be one of the best wet weather tracks in Australia due to its top quality drainage system. This means racing during Perth's winter months always goes ahead, whether rain, hail or shine.

Perth Racing
Perth Racing (formerly the Western Australian Turf Club) has been hosting thoroughbred racing in Western Australia for over 150 years. The club is responsible for the two riverside racecourses of Belmont and Ascot, both located within easy reach of Perth city centre.

With fully enclosed facilities for racing enthusiasts, a Belmont Saturday meeting is a great place to spend a day at the races.

Metropolitan racing in Perth is also held at Ascot Racecourse, where racing takes place during the summer and autumn months.
