Hong Kong weekend races for Malaysia

KUALA LUMPUR,  9 November 2005

Racegoers in Malaysia will be able to watch and bet on Hong Kong races on weekends from this Sunday.

This is in addition to the simulcast of mid-week races from Hong Kong since Sept 8.

The launch of simulcast for Hong Kong races on weekends was earlier scheduled for September but later postponed. "It all systems clear now", said a spokesman for Pan Malaysian Pools Sdn Bhd, agent for the Totalisator Board of Malaysia.

When the Hong Kong races coincide with Malaysian and Singapore race meetings, the three Malaysian clubs will show the Hong Kong races and tote on separate monitors.  

Since the start of the Hong Kong 2005/2006 racing season in September, racegoers in Singapore have been enjoying simulcasts of Hong Kong races on weekends as well as in mid-week.
