LAST CALL FOR QUEEN OF RACES

Racegoers set to flock to Kranji for last QEII Cup, what with lower grandstand free entry

Free admission tickets are again up for grabs at a Group 1 race meeting at Kranji.

Encouraged by the overwhelming response at the first initiative of making Granstand Level 1 accessible to such ticket holders on Singapore Derby day on July 21, the Singapore Turf Club (STC) is kindly renewing the experience for the Group 1 Queen Elizabeth II Cup meeting on Sept 7.

Just like for the Derby, interested parties only need to either register online at turfclub.​com.sg/free-admission or head down to Kranji Racecourse for in-person ticket collection.

For the first option, a ticket will be issued digitally, but early registration is still recommended to avoid disappointment.

As for those who choose to walkin on the day itself, on-site redemption from the Kranji MRT plaza or the STC taxi drop-off point will be available while tickets last.

Such collection was also spread over three previous race meetings on Aug 18 and 28, and Sept 1 to minimise queuing time on the actual race day.

A crowd of 5,800 spectators thronged the racecourse on Derby Day, almost double the usual attendance.
