The Hong Kong Jockey Club will simulcast a total of nine races for betting from Australia and United Kingdom on Saturday, 21 October.
Caulfield Cup Day (3 races – first race 12:50 Hong Kong time)
Caulfield Cup (G1 2400m handicap for 3yo+) is the climax of Caulfield’s slice of the Spring Racing Carnival. It is not only the world’s richest 2400m handicap, but also an important lead-up race to the prestigious G1 Melbourne Cup held in November.
British Champions Day (6 races – first race 20:15 Hong Kong time)
The eyes of the racing world will turn to Ascot on Saturday evening as some of Europe’s best horses and jockeys gather for the richest meeting on English soil – British Champions Day. The simulcast features five end-of-season championship races for horses of different categories and Europe’s richest handicap over a mile.
