Belmont Race Track

Belmont race track is Perth racing's winter racecourse 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 quailty drainage system which means racing in the winter months always goes ahead no matter how bad the weather.

Perth Racing
Perth Racing (formerly the Western Australian Turf Club) has been hosting thoroughbred racing in Western Australia for over 150 years, and is responsible for the two riverside racecourses of Ascot and Belmont, both located not far from the city of Perth.

Belmont does not have any Group 1 or Group 2 races and holds most if its meetings from May to July each year during the Perth winter season. The main races held at Belmont are the Gr3 Roma Cup in May, the Gr3 Belmont Sprint and Gr3 Hyperion Stakes in June, and the Gr3 Strickland Stakes in July.

A number of listed stakes races are held throughout June and August each season, with the most notable being the Belmont Newmarket and the Goodwood Sprint.

Below are the main races of the Belmont autumn racing carnival.

Our Perth Racing Carnival page has all feature races held during the current racing season.

Belmont has a circumference of 1,699 metres and a straight length of 333 metres. The track is oval shaped and offers good runs to the first turn from most starting gates and gives all horses a chance in the run.
