For the first time, the Singapore Group 1
Raffles Cup (1800m) will be presented by Panasonic Systems Asia Pacific.
With a purse of S$500,000, the Raffles Cup this Sunday is the second leg of the
prestigious Singapore Triple Crown series which began with the Kranji Mile
last month and will conclude with the Singapore Gold Cup on Nov 12. A
$300,000 bonus awaits the owner of the horse that wins all three legs of the
series.
Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd, best known by its Panasonic
brandname, is a worldwide leader in the development and manufacture of
electronic products for a wide range of consumer, business and industrial
needs.
“We hope to be recognised not only for our technological prowess but also to
be able to meet the needs of all, everywhere and at all times through
information technology and digitalisation. Panasonic takes pride in working
with the Singapore Turf Club to harnass the latest in the realm of digital
technology to bring the excitement of horseracing even closer to the racing
fans,” said Panasonic Systems Asia Pacific managing director Eugene Chan.
Yu Pang Fey, president and chief executive of Singapore Turf Club, said: “We
are delighted to have Panasonic Systems Asia Pacific present the prestigious
Raffles Cup 2006. This marks the start of a new three-year collaboration
during which they will be supporting another feature race at Kranji in 2007
and 2008 and we look forward to a successful partnership.”  |
