The sun is shining, the drinks are flowing and all the action is going down trackside – friends, we’re in the midst of spring racing season! If you’re keen to take it all in from one of the best spots on the coast, make sure you nab a spot at The Perch – Aquis Park, home of the Gold Coast Turf Club’s newly renovated locale.The newly renovated locale at Aquis Park is home to some of the season’s best events – think decadent long lunches with plenty of champagne to keep the fun flowing (we’re talking Moët, no less!) and one of the best positions by the track. Each ticket includes entry to the racecourse, a glorious five-hour drinks package featuring Moët Imperial Brut, premium beer and wine with basic spirits, a decadent feast to graze on during the day’s festivities and a race book.

The Perch will host a trio of lavish race days on October 9 for the Caulfield Guineas, October 16 for the Caulfield Cup and October 22 for the Cox Plate. Tickets are $195 per person.
