Racing enthusiasts in Macau
will soon be able to watch and bet on Singapore races, in addition to
Malaysian races which they have enjoyed since last year.
The Singapore Turf Club and Macau Jockey Club (MJC) are in the process of
finalising a partnership to televise Singapore races ‘live’ to Macau and for
MJC to operate the totalisator on Singapore races.
Teo Kim Heng, Vice President (Sales and Business Development), Singapore
Turf Club, commented: “The forthcoming tie-up with Macau Jockey Club will
provide us with yet another excellent opportunity to showcase Singapore
racing and our products and services to racing fans outside Singapore. This
is very much in line with our strategic plan to bring Singapore races to a
wider audience overseas and Macau will join Australia and South Africa,
where Singapore races are already broadcast live.”
Ronnie Chan, Betting Controller of MJC, said: “We have submitted the
application to the Macau Gaming Authority and we are expecting their
approval sometime this October. This new simulcast partnership with the
Singapore Turf Club will enable us to bring to the racing fans in Macau and
the near vicinity more quality races from overseas. We are confident that
the reputed Singapore races will become more and more popular with our fans
over time.”  |
