The Quokka.

How to bet on The Quokka with Bet Right

The Quokka is Western Australia's premier slot race, held annually at Ascot Racecourse in Perth. This 1200-metre weight-for-age sprint boasts a substantial prize pool of $5 million, making it the richest race in the state. As the meeting is held in late April, it is set up by races earlier in the Perth Autumn Racing Calendar, such as the TJ Smith Stakes. Arguably, the most significant aspect of this race is that it is part of the Western Triology; the first three-race festival that combines all three codes of racing (Thoroughbred, Harness, Greyhound). The Nullabor represents the Harness racing component, and The Sandgroper represents the Greyhound racing component.  

Inaugurated in 2023, The Quokka has quickly become a highlight of the Australian racing calendar. The race features 14 slots, each available for $200,000, allowing slot holders to select their preferred runners. This format has attracted top-tier sprinters from across the nation, contributing to the race's growing prestige.

In both 2023 and 2024, Overpass clinched victory in an exhilarating finish, adding their name twice to the esteemed list of The Quokka champions. The race continues to captivate punters and racing enthusiasts with its competitive fields and substantial rewards.
