NEW EVENING MEETING AT PERTH RACES

Perth Racecourse is looking forward to an additional evening meeting this Friday 23rd May.
Gates open for the evening meeting at 4.30pm and everyone is welcome to come an unwind at the races after a day's work. Tickets can be purchased on the gate for all enclosures from £10 to £15.

Horseracing is the fastest growing spectator sport in Scotland and many first time racegoers have already discovered the atmosphere and excitement of Perth this season. At the last evening meeting on the 14th May 2003, H.M The Queen had her first National Hunt Winner in Scotland when First Love, previously owned by H.M The Queen Mother, won the Carlsberg Intermediate Steeple Chase, partnered by Mick Fitzgerald (see photo above). It was a popular winner with the crowd who had come to enjoy an evening's entertainment at The Famous Grouse Race Evening.

The racecourse has additional information for first time racegoers available free from a wall mounted holder opposite the weighing room. This aims to explain the various enclosures and how to make the most of your visit to the races including a map of the racecourse buildings and directions to all the various bars and restaurants. Sam Morshead General Manager said "Going at the moment is good to soft and we are looking forward to another great evening's entertainment where everyone can enjoy the special Perth atmosphere."
