Simulcast and betting arrangements for Pacific Classic Day, Grosser Preis von Baden Day and Prix Gerald de Geoffre Day World Pool on offer for Grosser Preis von Baden Day

30/08/2024 20:50

HKJC Horse Race Betting Limited will simulcast a total of 12 overseas races in Hong Kong on 1 September, including three races of Pacific Classic Day from Del Mar Racecourse in USA, five races of Grosser Preis von Baden Day from Baden‐Baden Racecourse in Germany, and four races of Prix Gerald de Geoffre Day from ParisLongchamp Racecourse in France. Bets will be accepted* for these races. Double will be also offered. A jackpot of $132,728 is carried forward to Grosser Preis von Baden Day’s first Double Trio pool.

World Pool will be offered for Grosser Preis von Baden Day (Win, Place, Quinella, Quinella Place, Forecast and Tierce) to ensure maximum liquidity for racegoers. Under World Pool branding as one of the betting partners of Grosser Preis von Baden Day, the HKJC has naming rights for three races of the meeting, namely HKJC World Pool Handicap (S2-1 & S2-4) and World Pool Stadt Baden-Baden Cup (S2-2).

For Prix Gerald de Geoffre Day, Win and Place bets will be outbound commingled with the respective pools operated by Pari Mutuel Urbain (PMU) of France △, in accordance with the modified horse race betting rules of PMU. Quinella, Quinella Place and other exotic bet pools will still be operated under Hong Kong separate pools. If the bets on outbound commingling pools cannot be included in the PMU pools, the dividends will then be calculated based on the Hong Kong pool only and in accordance with PMU’s calculation formula.

Betting on outbound commingled pools is similar to the way of 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/.
