World Pool will be part of the G1 Irish St Leger Day at the Curragh on Sept. 15 for the first time, the Hong Kong Jockey Club (HKJC) announced on Thursday.
It is one of three race meetings the globally commingled pools will be active at across the world that weekend, joining G1 Irish Champions Day on Sept. 14 and Makybe Diva Stakes Day at Flemington in Australia earlier that same day. With this addition, the entire Irish Champions Weekend will be part of the World Pool for the first time.
A further two new race days have been added to the World Pool roster for the remainder of 2024, with World Pool active for the first time on Grosser Preis von Bayern Day (Nov. 10) from Munich, Germany and in operation for Argentina's G1 Gran Premio Carlos Pellegrini (Dec. 15) from San Isidro.
Michael Fitzsimons, executive director, Wagering Products at the HKJC, said, “It's been another busy period for World Pool, and we're delighted to maintain the momentum by announcing our updated programme for the final five months of 2024.
“We are always looking to strengthen our offering and by adding new World Pool race days from Ireland, Australia, Argentina and Germany to our roster for the remainder of the year, we continue to offer our global customers exciting, high-quality racing from all corners of the world.”
