The Karrakatta Plate is a Group 2 race worth $500,000 run at Ascot Racecourse in Perth each autumn.
The Karrakatta Plate is the premier two year old event in Western Australia and is a feature race of Perth Autumn Racing Carnival.
Held at Ascot Racecourse in late March or early April, the 1200m sprint is a Group 2 race which is worth half a million dollars in prize money. As a set weights race, colts and geldings must carry 56.0kg while fillies must carry 54.0kg. Many youngsters will use this race to prepare for the Group 3 Sires Produce Stakes over 1400m in a few weeks time.
The Karrakatta Plate – WA Sires’ Produce Stakes double was last completed by Whispering Brook (2016).
The Karrakatta Plate 2018 ran on Saturday April 14, 2018 Ascot Racecourse and was won by the Simon Miller-trained Valour Road.

The Karrakatta Plate field attracts a quality line-up of mainly Perth-trained two-year-old sprinters chasing a share in the half-a-million in prize money. Possible lead-up races into the Karrakatta Plate field each autumn including the Listed Perth Stakes (1100m) the fortnight before or the Group 3 Gimcrack Stakes (1100m) also held at Ascot two weeks earlier.
