HKJC Horse Race Betting Limited will simulcast seven races of King’s Stand Stakes Day from Ascot Racecourses, Great Britain on Tuesday, 16 June, 2020. Bets will be accepted* for these overseas races. Quartet & First 4 Merged Pool of S1-7 race will be topped up with a $600,000 jackpot. Besides, two Double Trio pools will be offered to King’s Stand Stakes Day.
After the success of last year’s launch, The Hong Kong Jockey Club, in partnership with overseas partners, will again offer the Ascot World Pool for Royal Ascot 2020.
Overseas pari-mutuel wagers placed through partners from the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, Europe, New Zealand and the United States will be commingled into Hong Kong’s pools during Royal Ascot. The respective bet types for the Ascot World Pool are Win, Place, Quinella, Quinella Place and Tierce. This will ensure maximum liquidity and stronger opportunities for customers across the globe on the Royal Ascot meeting. Other exotic bet pools will still be operated under Hong Kong separate pools.
