The Hong Kong Jockey Club will simulcast for betting a total of nine races from the Kranji Mile Day and Lockinge Stakes Day on Saturday, 20 May.
Kranji Mile Day from Singapore (first race 14.30pm Hong Kong time)
The simulcast kicks off in the afternoon with the competitive Singapore races, headlined by the Kranji Mile (SIN G1 1600m for 3yo+) which was first run in 2000 to commemorate the opening of Kranji Racecourse. It is the joint-richest horse race in the Lion City alongside the Singapore Gold Cup.
Lockinge Stakes Day from Great Britain (first race 22.00pm Hong Kong time)
In the evening, the Lockinge Stakes (G1 1600m for 4yo+) will be simulcast from Newbury Racecourse in Great Britain. The race is often the first race of the new season for the top milers. Won by superstar Baaeed last year, the Lockinge Stakes is one of the world’s best mile contests on turf.
