Arcadia Park ($2.35), a three-year-old Ocean Park gelding trained by Michael Grantham and ridden by Clint Johnston-Porter, headed the 2025 Belmont Classic results in WA on Saturday with a powerful staying performance.
Coming off a win in the Aquanita Stakes (2019m), he was well-supported at $2.35 and delivered his third consecutive victory, showcasing his stamina and grit by holding off the fast-finishing favourite Fancy Red, who was chasing a Listed double after winning the Belmont Oaks.
Arcadia Park surged to the lead inside the final 200m and responded strongly when challenged, winning by 1¼ lengths, with Royal Trooper finishing third after injecting early tempo.
Bred by Bob Peters, he is by Cox Plate winner Ocean Park out of Arcadia Dream, a WA Derby and Natasha Stakes winner, making his pedigree ideal for staying contests.
With four wins and three placings from ten starts, earning over $333,000, Arcadia Park is now likely to be spelled for a month before being aimed at longer-distance spring features, with a potential tilt at the Perth Cup (2400m) under consideration.

Belmont Classic Field
The Belmont Classic race field is made up of classy local three-year-olds coming off earlier winter runs in Perth.
Runners trained outside of WA rarely make the trip east for the race, so the Belmont Classic field and results have been dominated by the local stables.
A good lead-up event into the Belmont Classic field for any fillies in the mix is the Listed Belmont Oaks (2000m) held a fortnight earlier at the same track.
Chantrea (2020) and Ihts Closing Inn (2023) are the last fillies to complete the Belmont Oaks – Belmont Classic double.

- To Win: #6 Fancy Red ($2.20 at time of publish) – BET NOW
It’s a battle between the season’s top gelding and the best filly in the Belmont Classic field, and I’m siding with the girls! FANCY RED (3) is a lovely daughter of Sessions who just continues to show up. Her record is building, and fast, with Adam Durrant’s potential next-big-thing coming into Saturday’s feature on a hot streak of three wins on the trot. At her latest she beat home her own kind by a big 2.5 length margin at Bunbury in the Belmont Oaks. We’ve seen that form stack up again and again historically in the Belmont Classic, and she looks ready to take on the boys now. Adding merit to her Oaks success over 2019m was the fact she swam through a Heavy (9) track. Versatility is one of her strengths however as she’s equally proficient on Good going (5:3-1-0). The Wizard of the West Willie Pike has been on board all along and that continues on the weekend in another plus for the current favourite. She’s drawn a dream in gate three and tipping her to easily see out the 2200m now. Wins.
