Simulcast and betting arrangements for Preis der Diana ‐ German Oaks Day and Prix Rothschild Day World Pool on offer for Preis der Diana ‐ German Oaks Day

01/08/2025 20:12

HKJC Horse Race Betting Limited will broadcast a total of 11 overseas races in Hong Kong on Sunday, 3 August, including three races of Preis der Diana ‐ German Oaks Day from Dusseldorf Racecourse in Germany and eight races of Prix Rothschild Day from Deauville Racecourse in France. Bets will be accepted* for these races.

World Pool will be offered for Preis der Diana ‐ German Oaks Day (Win, Place, Quinella, Quinella Place, Forecast and Tierce) to ensure maximum liquidity for racing fans. Under World Pool branding as one of the betting partners of Preis der Diana – German Oaks Day, the HKJC has naming rights for two races of the meeting, namely HKJC World Pool Handicap (S1-1 and S1-2).

For Prix Rothschild Day, 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. 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. 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 Prix Rothschild Day, a jackpot of EUR 110,000 (approximately HK$985,391) will be offered for the Win pool of S2-8.

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/.

To enhance customers’ digital service experience, the Club has introduced arrow markers in the “Last Race Replay” videos for runners in overseas key races. These markers are designed to help customers track the performance of their selected horses. Visit the “Racing Info (Simulcast)” webpage to download the “Form Guide” and view the “Last Race Replay” videos in the past performance section for each horse.
