Revised starting times for Singapore

SINGAPORE,  18 October 2005

With effect from next Saturday, Oct 25, Singapore races held on Saturdays and Sundays will start at 1.45 p.m. This is to avoid clashes in the starting times of Singapore races and Hong Kong races whenever Hong Kong races are simulcast during Singapore weekend meetings.

The Singapore Turf Club decided to make the change after receiving feedback from racegoers who had indicated that they prefer the Singapore and Hong Kong races not to start at the same time.

Previously, Singapore races on Saturdays start at 2.00pm and Sundays at 1.30pm.
