The Hong Kong Jockey Club will simulcast for betting eight races from the 2000 Guineas Day meeting to be held at Newmarket Racecourse in England from late evening on Saturday, 6 May (first race 20.40pm Hong Kong time).
The English Classic season kick starts with the running of the 2000 Guineas. Since its inception in 1809, the G1 2000 Guineas (1600m) has long been established as a premier event for the three-year-old generation. It is the opening leg of the illustrious English Triple Crown and, for more than two centuries, some of the sport’s finest horses have sought Classic glory over the famous Rowley Mile.
