World Pools on Ascot meeting

TAB horseracing customers get another opportunity to bet their maximum without significantly reducing payouts on the King George VI race meeting at Ascot this Saturday.

The seven-event card is headlined by the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Qipco Stakes, a 2400m Group 1 event that has long been the midsummer highlight of the British horseracing calendar.

TAB will offer its normal range of international bets on the meeting and all Win, Place, Swinger and Quinella bets will be commingled into the UK Tote, which in turn will commingle into the Hong Kong Jockey Club’s massive World Pools.

Six runners have been declared for the King George with three-year-old Westover set to start hot favourite on the strength of a third in the Epsom Derby, in which he would have been much closer with a clear run, followed by a runaway victory in the Irish Derby.

TAB betting details for Saturday’s Ascot meeting are below.

ALL RACES: Commingled Win, Place, Swinger, Quinella (FIRST, SECOND any order); SA POOLS: Exacta, Trifecta, Quartet AND Place Accumulator (Races 1-7), Jackpot (Races 4-7).
