Simulcast and betting arrangements for Melbourne Cup Day
HKJC Horse Race Betting Limited will broadcast seven races of Melbourne Cup Day from Flemington Racecourse in Australia on Tuesday, 4 November. Bets will be accepted* for these races.
As one of the betting partners of Melbourne Cup Day, the HKJC has naming rights for one race of the meeting, namely The Hong Kong Jockey Club Stakes (S4-6).
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.
