Perth Racing (formerly known as Western Australia Turf Club or “WATC”) is offering Singapore racing fans, including Singapore Turf Club telebet customers, the opportunity to win a fabulous weekend stay in Perth and experience Perth Racing at its best at the opening of its summer racing season at Ascot Racecourse in Australia.

With every bet purchased on Perth Racing on Sept 23 and 30, customers stand a chance to win the grand prize of economy return air tickets to Perth for two. The grand prize winner will also enjoy two nights’ accommodation at the Burswood Entertainment Complex – Perth’s five star casino resort; $100 betting voucher; limousine transfers and a day at the Ascot Racecourse.

The grand draw will take place at Singapore Racecourse on Oct 1 at 5pm. To qualify for the draw, customers will have to write their name, NRIC or passport numbers and contact details at the back of their Perth Racing betting tickets and drop them into the entry boxes located at the Singapore Racecourse, off-course betting centres and Singapore Pools branches.

Alasdair Robertson, Chief Executive Officer of Perth Racing, said: “This is our way of thanking our Singapore customers for their kind support. This is the first of several Perth Racing promotions and we hope to, through such promotions, familiarise Singapore fans with our brand, our products, and our stars on the turf.”

Yu Pang Fey, President and Chief Executive of the Singapore Turf Club, added: “Perth Racing has become increasingly popular with Singapore racing enthusiasts and such attractive promotions will be warmly welcomed by our customers and increase their interest in Perth Racing, which will augur well for both our organisations.”

There will also be consolation draws on Sept 23 and 30 when customers can stand to win special Perth Racing Merchandise Packs comprising a backpack, t-shirt, cap, binoculars, key ring, pen and stickers.
