season.\u00a0 It\u2019s starting to get a bit grindy\/on pace now, but it\u2019s held up incredibly well.\u00a0 The more confidence you have in a track, the more confidence you bet with.<\/span><span

deal) and fact we are very deep into this season, we are likely to see a bit of an on-pace day to round us out. \u00a0 Hopefully we can leave a reasonable Ascot season as winners.<\/span><\/p>\n\n

Overview<\/h2>\n          <div class=\"mb-5 md:mb-6 text-sm md:text-base\">\n            <p><strong>SUMMARY<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Ascot Racecourse is located on the banks of the Swan River on the outskirts of the city of Perth, and has been the home of the Western Australian Turf Club (now operating as Perth Racing) since it hosted its first race meeting back in 1852. Perth Racing is the only metropolitan race club in WA and also operates the city\u2019s other racecourse at Belmont Park, with the two venues hosting a combined 90 meetings per season. A trio of Group 1 races in summer are the headline acts, culminating in the Kingston Town Classic named in honour of the champion racehorse who won 14 times at racing\u2019s highest level, including three Cox Plates in a row from 1980-82. For Ascot race tips on the Kingston Town Classic and all meetings during Perth\u2019s summer and winter carnivals, make sure you bookmark the Betfair Hub.<\/p>\n<p><strong>FAST FACTS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A notable feature of Ascot racecourse is its imposing statue of local hero Northerly, the two-time Cox Plate winner who became known as the \u2018Fighting Tiger\u2019 due to his tenacity in races.<\/p>\n<p><strong>KEY EVENTS <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Perth Summer Racing Carnival is the highlight of the year-round action at Ascot. Featuring a trio of Group 1 contests &#8211; the Winterbottom Stakes, Railway Stakes and Kingston Town Classic &#8211; the eight-week carnival opens with the Group 3 Northerly Stakes in mid-October, and closes with the Group 2 Perth Cup which is traditionally held on New Year\u2019s Day. Ascot hosts every meeting during the summer carnival and also stages all eight fixtures which form the winter carnival, opening with the Group 3 WA Oaks for fillies. Whether it\u2019s a Group race or a regular Saturday metro meeting, you can trust our team of tipsters to deliver their Ascot race tips on the Betfair Hub.<\/p>\n<p><strong>COURSE PROFILE<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The circumference of Ascot racecourse is 2022m with a relatively short home straight measuring just 300m, but due to its steep incline it presents a true test of a horse\u2019s stamina particularly in staying races. The triangular course has three distinct turns, including a sweeping curve from the 1600m to the 1000m mark. Depending on the strength and direction of the wind coming in off the river, leaders can be advantaged at Ascot. Betfair\u2019s team of experts stay across the track conditions as they bring you their Ascot best bets throughout the year.<\/p>\n<p><strong>HISTORY<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Regarded as the grand old lady of Australian racing, Ascot (originally called Perth Racecourse) has been hosting meetings since the formation of the West Australian Turf Club in 1852. The inaugural edition of the Perth Cup was run in 1887, when it was run over two miles (the race distance was changed to 2400m in 2009).<\/p>\n\n          <\/div>\n                  <\/div>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n        ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Find a range of Ascot Racing tips and expert advice on WA racing at Ascot from from Professional Punter Terry Leighton.
