Information for Owners and Trainers at Perth Racecourse

Without support of Owners and Trainers none of this at Perth would be possible, for this we are very grateful, and we are endeavouring to maintain or increase prize money where possible. In 2024, we have increased Executive Contribution to £570,000 (up from £533,000 in 2023), with total prize money set to be £975,000, despite a loss of two fixtures and reduced central funding.

The Festival meeting in April is the showpiece event for Perth Racecourse. With ground that has not been raced on since July, the racing surface is usually in great condition, and this is the time when we attract a blend of quality action on the track, as well as quantity. We are delighted to announce that the meeting is back up to £300,000 prize money including the £32,500 3-mile Mares Listed Chase, £25,000 2-mile Novice Listed Hurdle and the £30,000 3-mile 6 furlongs Highland National, with numerous other valuable races.

We hope that our other fixtures over the summer and autumn cater for your needs. We have done our best to ensure that prize money is consistent throughout the year and tried to support the grassroots of the sport despite significant financial head winds.

Raceday is a busy time for our visiting owners and trainers and our aim at Perth is to make it smooth, stress-free and enjoyable. The following information is here to help you. Should you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Bar and Restaurant

Perth Racecourse are delighted to provide complimentary dining in the dedicated Owners and Trainers restaurant facility for those with runners on the day. After feedback from the Owners that attended previously, we are delighted to offer a choice of main courses and desserts, with an additional vegetarian option.

On arrival at the O&T Pass Desk, all Owners and Trainers shall be handed your personal allocation of dining vouchers together with your admission badges from our dedicated Owners and Trainers Manager Lisa Horlick. Each horse shall be allocated 6 badges and 4 lunch vouchers, and each Trainer 2 badges and 2 lunch vouchers. Please enquire about additional badges and/or lunches and we will endeavour to help, subject to number of runners on the day and capacity in the restaurant.

Badge Allocations

We operate the PASS System and therefore encourage all Owners & Trainers to arrange their tickets via the online Concierge Service prior to arrival. The Concierge Service can be accessed via www.rcapass.com.

Owner Badges - 6
Available to each registered owner, whether single, joint or syndicate.

Trainer Badges - 2
Per trainer or their official representative

These badges provide access to the exclusive Owners and Trainers Bar and Restaurant, Parade Ring and dedicated Viewing Area on the Club Stand.

These badges are strictly non-transferable. Multiple runners from the same Ownership therefore does not entitle additional badges. Please contact the office in advance if you are travelling with a larger group.

Stable Yard & Hotel

Our Stable Yard and Hotel are situated on the right-hand side as you enter the Racecourse. We have 112 boxes on site and for our Festival meeting we will have up to an additional 20 temporary stables. We used either Bedmax Shavings or Recycled Paper for bedding in the stables, please submit your preference at declarations stage. Our stables complex now includes a reduced height loading ramp with enclosed sides to assist in loading all horses and a 30m x 3m railed trot up area at the rear of the stables which can allow your horses to be assessed in private.

The Lodge, our 26-bedroom onsite hotel, will be exclusively used for Stable Staff during their stay. We will be offering a complimentary breakfast and raceday meal for all travelling staff and we will endeavour to get each yard a room onsite, otherwise we will provide transport to a local hotel provider.

The welfare of all the Stable Staff, who have sometimes travelled a long way to Perth, remains our priority. We are always open to suggestions and pleased to help where we can.
