SHANG CHI IS A SMASH HIT IN POOLS TROPHY

Singapore Pools was proud to have been part of the highly successful Coronation Cup meeting in Ipoh on Nov 3.

A small delegation led by the Singapore gaming company's chief executive officer Lam Chee Weng was invited by the Perak Turf Club (PRTC) to witness the running of the Singapore Pools Trophy, an Open Class race over 1,300m, which was stylishly won by former Kranji galloper Shang Chi.

After South Korea (twice), South Africa (Turffontein), Hong Kong and Perth, Ipoh becomes the sixth overseas venue where Pools has lent its name to one of their races.

Lam, who was accompanied by his senior manager (product content) Steven Tan, took the opportunity to reaffirm Pools' commitment to working closely with PRTC and Malaysian horse racing at large.

"Singapore Pools is pleased to strengthen our relationship with the Perak Turf Club, an associated club of the Malayan Racing Association (MRA)," he said.
