Perth Races

Perth Racecourse is the northernmost course in Britain. It hosts jump racing but avoids the worst of the winter weather by staging meetings between spring and autumn.

A right-handed circuit of one mile and two furlongs, the going is at its most testing at Perth races during spring.

Despite its remote location a considerable distance from traditional training centres, many handlers make the long trip in pursuit of valuable prizes such as the Perth Gold Cup in June.

Its scenic location next to the River Tay, in the grounds of Scone Palace, make Perth races an attractive destination for racing fans and casual visitors alike.

Perth Races Tips

In recent years Perth races has hosted repeated successful raiding parties sent by leading Irish trainer Gordon Elliott, who is a big fan of the course. The betting market will often provide the best guide to which of his squadrons are most fancied to add to his tally here.
However, two trainers with similarly long treks, Peter Bowen from Wales and Fergal O’Brien from the Cotswolds, have strike rates that clearly make the journey worthwhile.
Jockey Sean Bowen, Peter Bowen’s son, is one to note when he rides for his father, while Richard Johnson, Tom Scudamore and Sam Twiston-Davies have also collected plenty of winners at Perth Racecourse in recent seasons.
Pay extra attention to front-runners, who are suited by the flat surface and tight bends.
