2 THE TABTOUCH MASTERS SERIOUS HORSEPLAY
Big money. Black type. Brilliant hospitality. Perth Racing invites you to experience serious horseplay at The TABtouch Masters, this year’s fourth edition of the world’s only single-track thoroughbred festival featuring a Group One race worth at least $1,000,000 on three consecutive Saturdays. More than $5,000,000 is up for grabs across the three days of The TABtouch Masters, with the Kirin-Railway Stakes, the Crown Perth-Winterbottom Stakes and the Magic Millions-Kingston Town Classic each boasting prizemoney totalling seven figures. Eleven of the 27 races that comprise The TABtouch Masters carry black type status, including the $500,000 Group Two Sky Racing- WA Guineas for three-year-old gallopers of either sex and two $100,000 Listed events restricted to mares and three-year-old RAILWAY STAKES fillies. The Jungle Mist Classic and the Jungle Dawn Classic are two of the Ascot Racing Carnival’s four black type contests - one at Group Three grade and three at Listed level - for big girls only. The fact interstate/international participation in The TABtouch Masters has increased year on year since 2016 is attributable to Perth Racing’s Equine All Stars Incentive Scheme, which not only provides connections of Railway Stakes, Winterbottom Stakes, Kingston Town Classic and WA Guineas runners with effectively risk-free shots at glory in those four highly prized races but also slashes the expenses associated with travelling a galloper to compete in one or more of the festival’s other major events. You can read about the acclaimed scheme on pages four and five. Visiting gallopers have won four of the nine Group One races staged under The TABtouch Masters banner, including every edition of the Winterbottom Stakes. Also, in three of the last four seasons, Group One victors at Ascot Racecourse have taken out Magic Millions contests at Gold Coast shortly thereafter, indicating WINTERBOTTOM STAKES chasing riches in Western Australia in November and December is a wonderful way to prepare for Queensland in January. Nominations for the Railway Stakes, the Winterbottom Stakes, the Kingston Town Classic and the WA Guineas close at 12:00 Australian Western Standard Time on Monday 14 October. Your guide to these four races is on pages six to nine inclusive, while the back page includes contact details for key Perth Racing and Racing and Wagering Western Australia personnel. The TABtouch Masters is part of Perth Racing’s commitment to iconic events that bring people together to share unique racing and non-racing experiences. Nearly 70,000 people enjoyed serious horseplay during the first three editions of The TABtouch Masters so check out this year’s travel and hospitality packages on pages 10 and 11 because you do not have to be connected to a competing galloper to experience extraordinary in Western Australia.
Ascot Racecourse is where horseplay lives. Perth Racing looks KINGSTON TOWN CLASSIC forward to welcoming you to its superb riverside track for The TABtouch Masters and three days of serious horseplay.
3 EQUINE ALL STARS INCENTIVE SCHEME SUBSIDISED TRAVEL FOR VISITING HORSES
Perth Racing’s acclaimed Equine All Stars Incentive Scheme subsidises the travel costs of Group One and Group Two runners from outside Western Australia and assists visiting horses in other black type races.
The scheme not only provides connections of Kirin- Railway Stakes, Sky Racing-WA Guineas, Crown Perth- Winterbottom Stakes and/or Magic Millions-Kingston Town Classic runners with effectively risk-free shots at glory in those four highly prized contests but also slashes the expenses associated with travelling a galloper to compete in one or more of the other 14 black type events - four of which are restricted to mares and three-year-old fillies - during PRIZED ICON The TABtouch Masters and the last four Saturdays of the Ascot Racing Carnival. perthracing.com.au
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 and Wagering Western Australia. The agreement empowers RWWA to rebate agreed monies if the incentivised horse places first to 10th inclusive in the Railway Stakes, the WA Guineas, the Winterbottom Stakes and/ or the Kingston Town Classic. Rebates do not apply to other races but the scheme delivers fewer benefits to incentivised horses which do not run in the Railway Stakes, the WA Guineas, the Winterbottom Stakes and/or the Kingston Town Classic.

Perth Racing’s scheme has been operational since 2016 and it has been instrumental to The TABtouch Masters breaking nomination and participation records in each of its first three editions. For example, the interstate/international nominations for The TABtouch Masters rose from 109 in 2017 to 151 in 2018, while gallopers representing 10 interstate/international stables competed last year. In 2016, New Zealand-based trainer Allan Sharrock campaigned then five-time Group One winner Kawi in the Lee Steere Stakes (fourth of eight), the Railway Stakes (sixth of 16) and the Kingston Town Classic (fourth of 15).
Many of the most celebrated trainers in the world of thoroughbred racing, including Australian Racing Hall of Fame inductees David Hayes, Chris Waller and Gai Waterhouse, have experienced serious horseplay at The TABtouch Masters. Do not hesitate to contact either Grant Burns or Mark Worwood if you would like to know more about Perth Racing’s scheme and how it works in practice. 5 KIRIN-RAILWAY STAKES $1,000,000 G1 3UP HCP (1,600M)
The Kirin-Railway Stakes is Perth’s oldest Group One race, an illustrious contest with a proud history dating back to Nimrod’s victory on New Year’s Eve in 1887 and a special place in the hearts of the city’s people.
Galaxy Star was more than 10 lengths off the lead with 600 metres remaining in the 2018 Railway Stakes but she accelerated brilliantly under William Pike to defeat a high-class field, including four interstate gallopers, one of which was two-time Group One champion Prized Icon. The Grant and Alana Williams-trained, Peters Investments- owned six-year-old mare built upon her Railway Stakes success later in last season’s Ascot Racing Carnival, placing third in the Magic GALAXY STAR Millions-Kingston Town Classic before winning the Ted van Heemst Stakes.

Arcadia Queen became the first galloper to complete the WA Champion Fillies Stakes-WA Guineas double since 1959 when she reigned supreme over a group of talented gallopers assembed from across Australia. The Grant and Alana-Williams trained, Peters Investments-owned girl provided William Pike with an armchair 2018 WA Guineas ride, cruising past the winning post three lengths ahead of subsequent interstate Group Three victor Lady Cosmology. Two weeks later, Arcadia Queen was majestic in dominating the ARCADIA QUEEN Kingston Town Classic at Group One level.

7 CROWN PERTH-WINTERBOTTOM STAKES $1,000,000 G1 3UP SWFA (1,200M)
The Crown Perth-Winterbottom Stakes is Australia’s last Group One sprint of the year and its recent victors include Takeover Target, Ortensia and Buffering, all of which won at the highest level in foreign lands.
Voodoo Lad triumphed in the top grade after going close on numerous previous occasions, most notably when he placed second in the 2016 Sir Rupert Clarke Stakes at Caulfield and the 2017 Newmarket Handicap at Flemington. Voodoo Lad’s 2018 Winterbottom Stakes success resulted in one of the human highlights of last season’s Ascot Racing Carnival as his rider, Perth-born jockey Damien Oliver, gave an emotional post-race interview to Sky Racing broadcaster Brittany VOODOO LAD Taylor as he returned to the unsaddling enclosure aboard the gutsy gelding.

8 MAGIC MILLIONS-KINGSTON TOWN CLASSIC $1,000,000 G1 3UP SWFA (1,800M)
The Magic Millions-Kingston Town Classic is the southern hemisphere’s richest Group One event over its distance, a race worthy of the three-time WS Cox Plate champion, which won at Ascot Racecourse in 1982.
Arcadia Queen was the talk of Australian thoroughbred racing after she became the first galloper to win the WA Champion Fillies Stakes, the Sky Racing-WA Guineas and the Kingston Town Classic in the same season. William Pike positioned the Grant and Alana Williams-trained, Peters Investments-owned filly just a few lengths off the lead in the early stages of the 2018 Kingston Town Classic and, once the jockey released the brakes on his mount, the contest was over in a matter of strides and she went on to record a hugely ARCADIA QUEEN impressive four-and-a-half-length victory.
