How to bet on the Perth Cup with Bet Right

The Perth Cup is Western Australia’s most historic and prestigious staying race, first run in 1887. Contested over 2400 metres at Ascot Racecourse on New Year’s Day, it serves as the highlight of the Perth Summer Carnival. With prize money now exceeding $500,000, the race has long been a showcase of endurance and class, drawing the best stayers from across the state and occasionally from the eastern seaboard. The Cup’s enduring popularity reflects both its tradition and its place in Perth’s festive calendar.

Over the years, the Perth Cup has witnessed countless memorable battles, producing local legends such as WA champion Delicacy and the durable stayer Star Exhibit. Its New Year’s Day scheduling makes it both a racing spectacle and a social event, marking the start of the year for Western Australian racing enthusiasts. The Cup’s combination of history, pageantry, and tactical intrigue ensures its continued significance in the modern era. For Perth’s racing community, the Perth Cup remains the ultimate test of stamina and a proud celebration of the state’s sporting heritage.
