Course Parking. A gravel car park dedicated to Owners, Trainers and Jockeys is situated immediately in front of you on your left as you as you pass the Lorry Park on your right.
Owners Entrance. The Owners and Trainers Entrance is to your left adjacent to the your Car Park and is suitably marked.
Owners badges. We will always be pleased to provide a badge for each owner, up to four per horse. If the horse is owned by a syndicate, six badges will be provided. The names of which owners have been allocated each of the six badges will need to have been provided to the racecourse prior to your arrival. We will do our best to provide all other syndicate owners with entrance badges at half price, although these badges might have to be ordinary badges rather than Owners badges.
Owners Facilities. Your entrance opens out into your own Bar and Restaurant. Complimentary tea and coffee, along with nuts and crisps will be available on your arrival. A snack lunch can be purchased throughout the day, if you would like a two or three course meal it is strongly recommended that you book a table prior to your arrival.
We will then be pleased to provide you with an excellent lunch at a discounted rate.
Viewing Facilities. There is an area of the main Grandstand steppings near the winning post that is reserved for your use, unfortunately due to Health and Safety regulations this cannot be railed off, however use will be policed by our own security.
Prizes. All winning owners at Perth will receive a Video of their race and a memento, a number of our bigger races have historic Challenge Cups which will also be presented and can be kept for eleven months. In addition to this we can now provide a picture of your horse winning. This will normally be presented to you as you celebrate your win in the Chairman’s private room.
Making you feel welcome. We know that you can choose many places to run your horse and many of you having chosen Perth have had to travel a long way. We will do all we can to show our appreciation of your support and this year we are employing extra raceday staff to specifically look after your needs. We very much hope that you enjoy your visit to Perth and thank you for your support.
