It's Happy New Year Day from Ascot by the river. Today will be a very Happy New Year Day for the connections of the horse who wins the 119th running of the Perth Cup. This exciting and gruelling marathorn will be played out in front of a crowd anticipated to reach over 40,000. The Perth Cup is the race all local horse owners, trainers, jockeys and punters want to win. As well as that we have eight other very exciting races in this nine race action packed meeting. The state’s premier staying race was first run in 1887 when won by First Prince.

There is also a massive quartet jackpot on this Perth Cup race. The quartet pool is expected to reach $100,000, so have a punt.
