Perth is the capital and largest city of the Australian state of Western Australia. It is the fourth-most populous city in Australia, with a population of 2,022,044 living in Greater Perth. Perth is part of the South West Land Division of Western Australia, with the majority of the metropolitan area located on the Swan Coastal Plain, a narrow strip between the Indian Ocean and the Darling Scarp. The first areas settled were on the Swan River at Guildford, with the city's central business district and port both later founded downriver.

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.
How were you able to pick the winners of all those huge 3 horse fields other people asked the lucky punter. It turns out he is a stablehand with a local Perth stable based at Doomben.
