COMMINGLING OF BETTING POOLS FOR HONG KONG RACES – RACE JUMP

 

Singapore Turf Club (STC) has commingled its WIN, PLACE, FORECAST, PLACE FORECAST and TIERCE pools into the respective pools operated by The Hong Kong Jockey Club (HKJC) since 10 December 2014.

 

During the initial period of commingling, the sale of bets by STC for all Hong Kong races would stop when the last horse in the race is being loaded into the starting gate to ensure that the transmission of bets to HKJC proceeds smoothly.

 

This temporary restriction will be lifted with effect from Sunday, 18 January 2015. The sale of bets by STC for all Hong Kong races will stop when the race jumps.
