Belmont Park Tips

Belmont Park is one of Australia's key thoroughbred venues, and its track characteristics shape how every meeting is won. Belmont Park, seven kilometres east of Perth, is Western Australia's winter headquarters while Ascot undergoes its annual renovation.

Our selections follow the same process at every track: recent form against today's class, suitability to the distance and surface, the barrier draw relative to this course's prevailing pattern, and market support. Each best bet below carries the top available price — compare before you commit.

About Belmont Park

Racing at Belmont is sharp and tactical — inside barriers carry real weight in the short straight, and the Perth winds that sweep across the course can play a part. In summer, the action shifts to the famous Ascot course nearby, home of the Kingston Town Classic and Railway Stakes.
