Perth Cup used to be on New Year's Day according to the Gregorian Calendar System upon which most of western society adheres.

Perth Cup also used to be run over 3200m. These days it is run over 800m, a distance that used to be short even for sprinters, but is now a staying distance because most races these days are run over 100 - 200 meters.

Another fun fact about the Perth Cup is that it continues to attract the bookmaker to field on this day where punters can put bets on to win a staggering $20 if they so desire. Once upon a time in Australia there were more bookies than kangaroos, nowadays the last remaining one travels the countryside going from Cup to Cup and country town to country town offering punters such returns for their hard earned. In reports that most people find too difficult to believe, one lucky punter backed all 3 winners on the Perth Cup card and was able to afford a half a small beer with his winnings.
