Racing at Selangor (Selangor Turf Club)
TAB and TABgold bets on the meeting will comprise commingled Win, Place, Exacta, Quinella, Swinger, Trifecta and Trio. All bets will be to a R1 unit with no fractional betting.
Quinella (first two finishers any order) and Trio (first three finishers any order) bets are only offered if there are seven or more runners. Swinger bets can be taken if there are nine or more runners.
Initially only commingled bets will be offered, but it is intended to operate South African pools on selected bet types after the first few meetings.
Betting on Selangor races will fill the gap left by the closure of Kranji Racecourse in Singapore, where horseracing will shut down forever soon as a result of declining attendances and betting turnovers. The last Singapore meeting will take place on Saturday 5 October.
A significant number of horses currently racing in Singapore will relocate to Malaysia as well as several trainers and jockeys, which will make it easier for TAB and TABgold customers to familiarise themselves with Selangor racing.
The introduction of betting on Selangor racing is in terms of a reciprocal agreement with the Selangor Turf Club, which will offer commingled tote betting on South African races.
