The 2026 Asian Beau Stakes is a 1400m sprint held at Ascot Racecourse in Perth in either late October or early November on the same day Melbourne hosts its famous Victoria Derby Day program at Flemington.
Held under handicap conditions, the Asian Beau Stakes is open only to horses aged three years and older. With total prize money of $200,000, this is a fairly lucrative race considering its status.
The Asian Beau Stakes is one of the earlier races in the Perth Summer Racing Carnival. As a result, it tends to be a fairly popular target for resuming horses. Add to that the fact that it runs on the same day as the Victoria Derby in Melbourne, as the nation is building towards the Melbourne Cup, and it quickly becomes clear why the Asian Beau Stakes receives the local attention that it does.
There aren’t many lead up races to the Asian Beau Stakes, largely because there isn’t a lot of racing prior to it. The Group 3 Eurythmic Stakes (1400m) held a couple of weeks earlier at the same track under the same conditions can act as a fairly effective preparatory race.
Following the Asian Beau Stakes, horses tend to follow fairly straightforward paths. The Group 3 Colonel Reeves Stakes (1100m) and the Group 3 RJ Peters Stakes (1500m) are popular future targets, while the Group 1 Railway Stakes (1600m) attracts some of the stronger runners.
Galaxy Star (2018), Inspirational Girl (2020), Western Empire (2021) and Watch Me Rock (2025) are the latest gallopers to complete the Asian Beau Stakes – Railway Stakes double.
Inspirational Girl, Western Empire and Watch Me Rock all also went on to run second in that summer’s Group 1 Northerly Stakes (1800m), which was formerly known as the Kingston Town Classic.
In 2022 the Asian Beau Stakes runner-up Startrade went on to run third in that year’s Railway Stakes trifecta, while the Asian Beau third placegetter Trix Of The Trade franked the form winning the Railway Stakes next start.
The 2023 Asian Beau Stakes form was franked with the runner-up Alsephina running second in that summer’s Railway Stakes quinella. She would also head to Melbourne the following year and run third in the 2024 Group 1 Toorak Handicap in Melbourne on the back of a Group 2 Stocks Stakes win at The Valley.
In 2024 the Asian Beau Stakes winner Super Smink ran third next-up in the Railway Stakes.
Watch Me Rock franked the 2025 Asian Beau Stakes form winning the Railway at his next start. The biggest form reference out of the race however was from the third placed Cosmic Crusader who went on to win the Northerly Stakes in Perth before transferring to Melbourne in 2026 and dominating the spring carnival with a host of big race victories highlighted by his Group 1 wins in the Turnbull Stakes and most famously the 2026 Cox Plate.

Asian Beau Stakes History
Inaugurated in 1982, the Asian Beau Stakes has grown into quite an important Western Australian race.
In the beginning, the Asian Beau Stakes was known as the Kankama Quality Stakes. It has gone through multiple name changes over the years, being known also as the Belmont Community Quality Stakes and Budget Quality Stakes.
The Asian Beau Stakes gained its current Group 3 status in 1999. It has always been run at Ascot Racecourse with the exception of one year in 2003, when it was run at Belmont Park.
The race is named after champion galloper Asian Beau. Asian Beau’s 1981 blitzing of the Group 1 Railway Stakes made him only the fourth horse to win as odds-on favourite since the race’s inception in 1887. Jockey Graeme Webster made the claim following the race that Asian Beau would “prove to be the best sprinter in Australia”. At the time, Tommy Berry’s offer of $450,000 seemed to reflect that. Although owner Joe Williams claimed he wanted $600,000 following the race.
Notable Asian Beau Stakes winners include Nitro Lad (1982), Pago Escort (1992), Idyllic Prince (2006), Luckygray (2011), Platinum Rocker (2013), next-up Railway Stakes champion Galaxy Star (2018), Inspirational Girl (2020) and Watch Me Rock (2025).
