History-making jockey rides in 1st of 2 Pools-named S.A. races
Singapore Pools will make its presence felt in South Africa at two different racecourses four days apart this week.
Besides South Africa, the Singapore gaming company has been regularly visiting other racing countries like Malaysia, South Korea, Australia, France and Hong Kong since 2023 while lending its name to one race at a race meeting.
But this is the first time it is answering an overseas invitation twice within the same week.
Hollywoodbets Kenilworth in Cape Town is the first venue to kick off that two-day junket on Aug 19, before the delegation are hosted in Turffontein, Johannesburg on Aug 23.
It was at the same Turffontein racecourse where Pools was first honoured by its South African counterpart 4Racing on Jan 20, 2024 with the introduction of the Singapore Pools Trophy 2024 Pinnacle Stakes.
Champion trainer Mike de Kock and jockey Muzi Yeni combined to win the 1,000m dash with Iphiko.
Yeni put himself on the Singapore map even more significantly by winning its last race ever, the Group 1 Grand Singapore Gold Cup with Smart Star on Oct 5.
