I am trying to find out from TabGold if they will be accomodating their clients, and opening early on Sunday 27th April, to allow us to watch and bet on the QE2 in Hong Kong.
De Kock has some great horses there, and we cannot watch on tellytrack. The Big races start at 0830 our time and the big one at 1030. I have tried calling Gold Circle, but as usual no one has come back to me. Can you Help?

Gold Circle responds
Please note that due to commingled pools, TabGold is dependent on the availability of the Phumelela system as well as the agreed SAFTOTE schedule of races on any given day.
