World Pool's globally commingled pools will be in operation in Britain, Germany and South Africa this weekend, the Hong Kong Jockey Club (HKJC) announced on Friday.
The G1 Durban July and G1 Garden Province Stakes are both World Pool races at Greyville in South Africa on Saturday for the first time, while the G1 Coral-Eclipse Stakes returns to the World Pool fold at Sandown later that same day. Hamburg Racecourse in Germany will feature the G1 Deutsches Derby and three other races on the card on Sunday–the G3 Hamburger Stutenpreis, Listed Japan Racing Association Trophy, and the HKJC World Pool Handicap.
Michael Fitzsimons, executive director, wagering products at the HKJC, said, “We're delighted to have such high-quality racing from Greyville, Sandown and Hamburg on the horizon this weekend–to be featuring Durban July Day for the first time, welcoming back the Eclipse to the World Pool roster, as well as expanding our offering on Deutsches Derby Day.
“Commingling some of the world's top race meetings across three different countries all in one weekend is just what World Pool was intended for, and we look forward to providing our global customers with unrivalled value across the three meetings.”
