The WA Guineas is a Group 2 race for three-year-olds held annually at Ascot racecourse in Perth, Western Australia during the Perth summer racing carnival. The race is run over a distance of 1600 metres under set weight conditions and worth $350,000 in prizemoney. The 2011 WA Guineas was won by King Saul from Caiguna with Red Hot Sax third.
The WA Guineas is the first 3yo group race of the summer carnival in Perth and attracts the better three-year-olds going around locally and is a good event on the WA racing calendar for three-year-olds.
Three-year-olds contesting this event may go on to a race like the Gr2 Lee Steere Classic the following month at the same track as it's a similar race for three-year-olds but over 1400m, rather than 1600m.
King Saul (2011) ran fourth in the listed Fairetha Stakes over 1400m at this track on his way to winning this event and recent WA Guineas winners include Playing God (2010) and Clueless Angel (2009).
