Simulcast and betting arrangements for Deutsches Derby Day and Prix Jean Prat Day French’s Win and Place outbound commingling pools with a Jackpot Reserve

04/07/2025 20:27

HKJC Horse Race Betting Limited will simulcast five races of Deutsches Derby Day from Hamburg Racecourse in Germany and seven races of Prix Jean Prat Day from Deauville Racecourse in France on Sunday, 6 July. Bets will be accepted* for these races.

World Pool will be offered for Deutsches Derby 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 Deutsches Derby Day, the HKJC has naming rights for two of the races, both of which are named HKJC World Pool Handicap (S3-1 and S3-4).

For Prix Jean Prat 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. A jackpot of EUR 100,000 (approximately HK$926,130 million) will be offered for the Win pool of S4-1 on Prix Jean Prat Day.

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/.
