Singapore to introduce Triple Trio

SINGAPORE,  6 January 2006

The Singapore Turf Club (SNTC) will introduce a new and exciting exotic bet, TRIPLE TRIO, next month.

To mark its introduction on Sunday, Feb 5, SNTC will be injecting a hefty $300,000 as an added jackpot into the first Singapore Meeting TRIPLE TRIO pool that day. This will be the single largest amount injected into a jackpot by the Club to date.

TRIPLE TRIO will be offered during Singapore meetings and on Malaysian Sunday meetings. As a start, there will be one pool per meeting.

The TRIPLE TRIO should appeal to regular racegoers as it will be challenging to pick the first three horses in three races designated by SNTC and the expected winning dividends are likely to be attractive. Each unit bet costs $2 and the minimum guaranteed dividend is $3.

The Club will be printing a new betting coupon with the "TTR" option. In the event that the TRIPLE TRIO pool during a Singapore meeting has no winner, the amount will be carried forward as a jackpot to the TRIPLE TRIO pool in the next Singapore meeting. The same rollover applies for Malaysian meetings.

The TRIPLE TRIO will be available at all betting counters at the Singapore Racecourse, SNTC’s betting centres as well as Singapore Pools’ outlets selling totalisator bets and through the Operator-Assisted Telebetting service. TRIPLE TRIO will not be available through ACCESS and the Voice-Response Telebetting service, but the results will be available on both.
