Ford For Thought In Sydney Pools Race

Horses' past form is universally the first factor to look at when poring through an overseas race card which may not be so familiar to punters.

The penultimate race at Royal Randwick on June 7 will be no different to Singapore fans who love a flutter on Australian races.

But, before they start running a slide rule through each horse, they may notice the name of the event carded as Race 9 at Sydney's premier racecourse, and Race 13 (1.40pm Singapore time) on the Singapore Pools tote.

Cast as the highlight of the 10-race programme, the A$160,000 Benchmark 94 Handicap is named after the Singapore Pools – a first for the gaming company in Sydney, after having lent their names at other jurisdictions like Hong Kong, South Korea, South Africa, Malaysia, and even Perth in Australia.
