Perth Racecourse has once again won the “Best Small Racecourse” Award for racecourses in Scotland and the North East of England. This continues a great run of form by Perth in winning this award, judged by the Racegoers Club, collecting this prize four times in the last 6 years. The Racegoers Club commented “Competition for the 2005 awards has been strong due to the vast number of improvements made at many racecourses in the past year, and it is a superb achievement by all of the courses voted winners in various categories”

Sam Morshead, the General Manager said today “The whole team at Perth are delighted that their hard work over the last twelve months has been rewarded with this prestigious award. To be singled out again, by one of our main customer groups, is of great value to us as we move into another exciting and challenging season ahead. The Perth Festival in April will soon be with us and we look forward to providing the very best entertainment, with excellent facilities and helpful staff, to ensure that all our customers continue to enjoy their visits to Perth races”.

Highlights of the 2006 Racing Season:

Perth is also in a shortlist of eleven U.K Racecourses drawn up by the Racehorse Owners Association for The Gold Standard Award.

The Racehorse Owners Association will be evaluating a number of criteria to determine how effectively each racecourse is run and the quality of the facilities provided for owners, their horses and the stable staff who look after them during the day’s racing.

Julie Manners Marketing Manager commented “It is a great achievement to be shortlisted for the ROA’s Gold Standard Award from the 59 Racecourses in the U.K, and we look forward to the results in the New Year ”.
