Back to single double trio pools

SINGAPORE,  15 December 2005

The Singapore Turf Club (SNTC) will discontinue with multiple double trio pools with effect from tonight’s meeting at Kranji.

Last month, SNTC increased the number of DOUBLE and DOUBLE TRIO (DTR) pools for each race meeting from one pool per meeting to multiple pools for every meeting to gauge customer interest.

After a one-month trial period, SNTC has decided to discontinue offering multiple DTR pools due to poor response from customers.

Henceforth, SNTC will offer one DTR pool for each Singapore, Malaysia and Hong Kong Meeting only. For Western Australian Turf Club (WATC) races, since there is a DTR jackpot of S$1,471.49, the jackpot will be carried forward to the next WATC meeting on December 24 until the DTR jackpot is won. Thereafter, the Club will no longer offer DTR bets for WATC meetings.

SNTC will continue to offer multiple DOUBLE pools for betting on all race meetings, including WATC races. As per the present practice, the Club will standardise DOUBLE pools to the following combinations of races: Races 2 and 3; Races 4 and 5; Races 6 and 7; Races 8 and 9; and where applicable, Races 10 and 11.
