Gloucester Park is the best harness racing track in Australia. It has been graced by mighty champions such as Pure Steel and Mount Eden. The racing is known as pacing. It's a magical sound heaing the jingling of the gear and the swish-swish-swish as the horses race down the back straight. The best position in the race is 'one out and one back." This is called "getting the sit." If the favourite has the sit, a cry will go up from the crowd "he's got the sit!" Apart from the racing, catering is good, from restaurant quality meals to hamburgers and chips. Many people go to Gloucester Park mainly because it's a great night out night out.

Kalgoorlie Boulder Thoroughbred Race Course

Reviewed By 619jeffry - Essendon, Australia

Many years ago, I had an argument with a sandalwood cutter about whether Gunsynd -- at that time the most famous thoroughbred in Australia -- would run in the Kalgoorlie Cup. Such was the inherited prestige of the Kalgoorlie Cup that he was convinced Gynsynd would make the trip from the eastern seaboard for the race. The prizemoney for the Cup amounts to $130,000 for the 2,300 metre race. No serious punter would miss the Kalgoorlie Cup Round, it's a great social occasion apart from anything else. This year the Cup will be held on Saturday 2 October 2021. It's one of the great races of Inland Australia.

Belmont Park Racecourse

Reviewed By 619jeffry - Essendon, Australia

Belmont Park Racecourse is one of two racecourses in Perth. It's said to be one of the best wet-weather racetracks in Australia, which is good, because it's Perth's winter track. It's about 6 km (4 miles) from the Perth CBD. To get there, the Belmont Park railway station is close. It's got a great location, in a bend in the Swan River, but the WATC could lay out a bit more on maintenance.
