Belmont Sprint, Belmont Park

Run over 1,400 metres, the Belmont Sprint is a Group 3 race taking place at Belmont Park Racecourse during May. With a $200,000 prize purse, the weight-for-age event has been run and won since 1963 and many of Perth’s top horses have saluted including Luckygray (2015). 

From 1963 to 1979, the race was run as a Principal Race. Ever since 1980, it has held and maintained Group 3 status.

Until 2015, the race had been run as a Quality Handicap, as opposed to its current Weight For Age conditions. The Group 3 Roma Cup (1200m) is the key lead-up into the Belmont Sprint and Rock Magic (2017) was the last horse to do the double. 

In 2023 the Belmont Sprint winner Bustler returned to win Perth’s Group 1 Railway Stakes (1600m) in the summer, franking the form of the Group 3 winter sprint race.

Which Horse Will Win The Belmont Sprint in 2024

The best way to pick which horse will win the Belmont Sprint in 2024 is to take into account their lead-up Perth racing form, assess the barriers and look for the proven Group performers. 

Additional factors to consider when picking the Belmont Sprint winner include: 

  • Best Lead Up – Check out the Roma Cup, taking place two weeks earlier.
  • Local Legends – Horses typically only come from the WA racing scene, so check out the black-type results at Belmont and Ascot in the lead up to this race. 
  • Past Performers – Local sprinters that have contested past editions of the race make a nice bet.
