The Hong Kong Jockey Club will simulcast for betting the Japan Cup live from Tokyo Racecourse during the race meeting at Sha Tin on Sunday, 26 November (14.40 Hong Kong time).

The Japan Cup (G1 2400m for 3yo+) was first run in 1981 and has built a reputation over the years as one of the world’s finest mile and a half contests. The nomination list is headed by the world’s top rated racehorse Equinox who swept all before him this season winning the Dubai Sheema Classic, Takarazuka Kinen and Tenno Sho (Autumn) in dominating fashion.

Final declarations with barrier draw for the Japan Cup will be available on Friday, 24 November.
