Perth Racing

A message from Perth Racing CEO James Oldring. 🎥 James provides an update on the new Placid Ark Room for Members, Trainers and Owners, along with some of the exciting redevelopment works completed at Belmont Park Racecourse ahead of the 2026 Winter Racing season. We look forward to welcoming everyone tomorrow for Drummond Golf Belmont Opening Day. 🐎 @RacingWATV

The 2026 Group 3 Drummond Golf-Belmont Sprint is absolutely stacked with quality! 🔥 Quokka runners Magnificent Andy, Rope Them In and West Star clash with Northam Stakes winner Smooth Chino and the evergreen Western Empire, who reunites with Willie Pike. 🐎 Smooth Chino heads into Saturday as the deserved favourite after a dominant Northam Stakes victory against a similar field, but standing in his way is Group 1 Railway Stakes winner Western Empire, who is closing in on $3.5 million in prizemoney and adds even more star power to a mouthwatering edition of the Belmont Sprint. Who are you backing? 👀 📸 @WesternRacepix

The Wizard 🧙 vs The Spud 🥔 Saturday’s Belmont Sprint looks a thriller! Western Empire ($2.75): proven, polished, and already a Belmont Sprint conqueror. Three wins at the trip, $3.4M earned, and back for more. Smooth Chino ($2.15): rising star, unbeaten with Austin Galati, stretching out in distance and chasing a farewell win before heading to SA. 📺 4:15pm AWST Saturday, live & free on Racing WA TV.

Simon Miller is a big fan of the new Belmont Park Racecourse! "Off its head", "Next-level", "Elite" Drummond Golf Belmont Opening Day is this Saturday 16 May. Entry is FREE!

"from The Pinnacles proving to be a roaring success, to a Perth Cup day dripping in decadence and a mini-autumn carnival centred around a race named after a tiny island creature, everything Perth Racing seemed to touch over the last few months turned to gold..."
