Great racing with mega TAB pools

TAB customers are in for a treat on Saturday with a chunk of the best racing action' on the planet coupled with the biggest tote pools in the world.

The excitement starts early with the last eight races from the richest raceday of the 2024 Sydney Spring Racing Carnival. The $20-million The Everest, Race 7 on the card and the world’s richest turf race, tops the programme.

The 1200m headline event is backed by the $5-million King Charles III over 1600m (Race 9) and the $2-million The Kosciuszko over 1200m (Race 5), Australia’s richest race for country-trained horses.

TAB Win, Place, Quinella and Swinger bets on Races 6 to 10 at Randwick will be commingled into the massive Hong Kong World Pool tote. Excluding World Pool bet types and races, the usual range of commingled Tabcorp pools will be in operation for TAB customers (Win, Place, Exacta, Quinella, Trifecta, Quartet, Rolling Double and Jackpot). But there will be no Trifecta pools on Races 6 to 10, because the TAB-Tabcorp communication link is not fast enough to transmit all data after Hong Kong pools close.

The Randwick action starts at 04:40 and later in the day comes one of the biggest UK race meetings of the year. This is the Qipco British Champions Day at Ascot, a six-race blockbuster that brings down the curtain on the British flat season.

With R90-million in prize money and four Group One events, this is thoroughbred racing action at its best. Even better all TAB Win, Place, Exacta, Quinella, Swinger and Trifecta bets will be commingled into the Hong Kong World Pool tote, so it’s a great chance to have mega bets on many of the world’s top thoroughbreds. Quartet pools, plus the Place Accumulator and Jackpot, will be hosted by TAB locally. Race 1 goes off at 14:20.
