The 2019 Karrakatta Plate is a Group 2 contest raced annually in Western Australia at Ascot Racecourse in Perth. It’s the biggest two year old event on their calendar and worth half a million dollars in prize money. The race is contested over a trip of 1200m at set weights and is effectively their version of the Golden Slipper albeit on a smaller scale.
The Karrakatta Plate is not only the showpiece two year old race of the year but also one of the showpiece events of the entire Perth autumn racing carnival.
Horses doing well here may be bumped up to 1400m in the following weeks for the Group 3 Sires Produce Stakes, also at Ascot.
Trainers that elect to do that have a good chance based on recent history as well with Roman Time in 2007, Brava Fortune in 2008 and Motion Pictures in 2010 all completing the double.
The Karrakatta Plate is typically a race for local two year olds however in the past some eastern raiders have been sent across.
Past winners of the race include Daney Boy and Bomber Bill in 1995 and 1998 as well as more recently Gold Rocks and Night Ware in 2009 and 2011.
