HKJC Horse Race Betting Limited will simulcast eight races of NHK Mile Cup Day from Tokyo Racecourse in Japan on Sunday, 11 May. It will also simulcast four races of Poule d’Essai des Poulains Day from ParisLongchamp Racecourse in France on the same evening. Bets will be accepted* for these races.
To provide more jackpot opportunities (referred to as “Boosters” in France), Pari Mutuel Urbain (PMU) of France will introduce a Jackpot Reserve for Win and Place bets starting from Poule d’Essai des Poulains Day. The deduct rate will be 0.1699% of the turnover for the relevant pool, which will be returned as jackpots for designated French races. For Poule d’Essai des Poulains Day, a jackpot of EUR 100,000 (approximately HK$880,000) will be offered for the Place pool of S2-3.
As with previous arrangements for the French outbound commingling pools△, Win and Place bets will be outbound commingled with the respective pools operated by PMU, the Club’s outbound commingling partner, in accordance with the modified horse race betting rules of PMU. Quinella, Quinella Place and other exotic bet pools will still be operated under separate Hong Kong pools.
The betting method for the outbound pools remains unchanged and is the same as the method for 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/.
