HKJC Horse Race Betting Limited will simulcast seven races of Sprinters Stakes Day from Nakayama Racecourse in Japan on Sunday, 2 October. It will also simulcast six races of Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe Day from ParisLongchamp Racecourse in France on the same evening. Bets will be accepted* for these races. Two Double Trio pools will be offered for Sprinters Stakes Day and Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe Day respectively and a jackpot of $383,684 is carried forward to the first Double Trio pool of Sprinters Stakes Day.

For Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe Day, Win and Place bets will be outbound commingled with the respective pools operated by Pari Mutuel Urbain (PMU) of France△, in accordance with the modified horse race betting rules of PMU. Quinella, Quinella Place and other exotic bet pools will still be operated under Hong Kong separate pools. If the bets on outbound commingling pools cannot be included in the PMU pools, the dividends will then be calculated based on the Hong Kong pool only and in accordance with PMU’s calculation formula.

Betting on outbound commingled pools is similar to the way of betting on Hong Kong pools. The odds are calculated according to PMU’s method, that is, the investment is deducted prior to the division of the dividend pool (Photo 1). The odds displayed will change to show the odds of the PMU pools when the Hong Kong investment of the current race has been outbound commingled with PMU, and after the dividends of the preceding race have been confirmed.  The Place odds are the minimum value odds in the range (Photo 2).  In other words, the final Place odds could either be the same or higher than the value indicated. For more information on outbound commingling, customers can visit the Club’s website at https://campaigns.hkjc.com/outbound-commingling/en/.
