The Pinnacles

Welcome to The TABtouch Pinnacles Racing Carnival, Western Australia’s premier thoroughbred racing event, held at the iconic Ascot Racecourse. Across five spectacular race days, this summer carnival delivers world-class racing, unforgettable entertainment, and the vibrant energy of Perth in full bloom.

Set against the backdrop of WA’s golden sunshine and electric atmosphere, The Pinnacles is more than just a racing carnival, it’s a celebration of speed, style, and sporting excellence.

Risk-Free Shot at Perth Riches

Our acclaimed Equine All Stars Incentive Scheme subsidises the travel costs of selected Group race runners from outside Western Australia and assists visiting horses in other black type races.

The scheme not only provides connections of runners in The Pinnacles (supported by TABtouch) and Perth Cup with effectively risk-free shots at glory in those highly prized contests but also slashes the expenses associated with travelling a galloper to compete in one or more of the other 17 black type events – five of which are restricted to fillies and mares - during The Pinnacles and the last four Saturdays of the Ascot Racing Carnival.

Participation in the scheme is not compulsory but, to access its benefits, a representative of the incentivised horse must enter into an agreement with Perth Racing and Racing WA.

The agreement empowers Racing WA to rebate agreed monies if the incentivised horse places first to tenth inclusive in the Railway Stakes, the WA Guineas, the Winterbottom Stakes, the Northerly Stakes, The Gold Rush and/or Perth Cup.
