Perth Racing launches Ascot Racing Carnival
Ascot Racecourse will blossom into spring for the 2020 Ascot Racing Carnival, starting with Crown Perth Opening Day on Saturday 10 October and ending with TABtouch Perth Cup Day on Saturday 2 January.
With 10 key carnival racedays featuring world-class horse racing, each carnival day has a specific theme allowing patrons to select their ultimate raceday experience. Whether it’s celebrating with the ladies on Champion Fillies Day, experiencing the fashion trackside on Melbourne Cup Day, or watching the finest thoroughbreds for serious horseplay at The TABtouch Masters.
The TABtouch Masters is like no other, with three spectacular racedays over three weeks comprising of Kirin Railway Stakes Day, Crown Perth Winterbottom Stakes Day and PeopleStart Kingston Town Classic Day. It’s the fifth edition of the world’s only single-track racing festival featuring a Group One race worth at least $1,000,000 on three consecutive Saturdays.

Perth Racing has refurbished a number of exciting venues, including a brand new bar and function space in the ground floor of the Grandstand, that will make this year’s Carnival the best one yet. Expect plenty of colour and lots of horseplay with a few surprising reveals along the way,” he added.
