"Opening Day at Ascot is a celebration of thoroughbred racing." Kristi Ullrich PR Marketing Manager.
"Perth Racing celebrates with free entry; we celebrate the quality of thoroughbreds in this state, with the running of the Listed Northerly Stakes; we celebrate fashion with the National Myer Fashions on the Field Competition and we celebrate the excitement of racing with a 9 race programme."
"It is a not to be missed day on the Ascot racing calendar, and a fabulous way to welcome spring racing."
An unforgettable Ascot season lies ahead, with the Festival Of Perth Racing, which will run from Opening Day through to BMW Perth Cup day on January 1st.
There will be non stop action on and off the track, with a nine race programme beginning at 12:25pm, highlighted by the $75,000 Bundaberg Red Belgravia Stakes and $100,000 Northerly Stakes.
The Caulfield Cup will be televised live throughout the course, including on the new RWWA big screen which will be in a prime position.
Spring is undoubtedly upon us and that signals fashion stakes.
Ladies! Dress to impress and head to Ascot Racecourse for a chance to take away a cracking prize in the popular Western Australia leg of the MYER Fashions on the
Field competition.
The Western Australia State Winner will enjoy a five-day, party filled trip of a lifetime for two to the Melbourne Cup Carnival representing W.A., valued at $8,000.
There is something for everyone at the Ascot launch and the talk of the town at the moment is there is no better place to party than Burswood Garden Party and it will
be at capacity with the biggest revellers in town.
It's party time trackside with prime viewing of Myer Fashions on the Field, afternoon canapés, your first two drinks free, DJ playing all day and a private lounge area.
The Bundy girls will be on course playing the old favourite rock, paper, and scissors with the crowd for a chace to win Bundaberg merchandise.
Pr.Com Lounge, Perth's slick state of the art bar will once again be popular with its members when doors are opened for the new season.
This exclusive bar is open to Perth Racing Members and Pr.Com Members, there will be casual tickets available for $10 from Perth Racing.
Opening Day will introduce race-goers to the excitement of the Festival of Perth Racing, with all the regular Ascot features open for our guest's enjoyment including
the much renowned on course dining venues, Flying Colours Restaurant, Terrace Restaurant, Alfresco BBQ, and our many comfy bars and the fascinating Perth Racing Museum.
