St. Moritz Racing Association | Horse Racing Free Tips

After the 114th General Assembly of the St Moritz Racing Club at Badrutt's Palace Hotel in St. Moritz last week, the 2022 White Turf dates were announced.

Racing will be held over three White Turf Race Days–on Feb. 6, 13 and 20, and the White Turf site will be open to the public throughout that three-week period around race Sundays. There will also be free White Turf Family Days on the three Saturdays adjacent to the race days-Feb. 5, 12, and 19, where kids will be allowed to practice their skijoring and there will be other family-oriented activities on offer. In addition, on weekdays from Jan. 31 to Feb 4, Feb. 7 to 11 and Feb. 14-18, the White Turf Experience Days will be open to the public at the White Turf site. Linked with the municipality of St. Moritz, these “Amusements on the Lake”, which debuted in 2021, will provide opportunities for skijoring, ice skating, cross-country skiing and hiking on the lake.

During the meeting of the club, the annual accounts were also adopted. Manuel Weber will take over as cashier from Maya Sonderegger, who had served in that role since 2020. For more information on the White Turf meeting, please visit https://www.whiteturf.ch/.

The 2021 White Turf meeting at St. Moritz in Switzerland will not take place due to COVID-19, the St. Moritz Racing Association (SMRA) announced on Thursday. The unique winter event has been postponed to Feb. 6, 13, and 20 of 2022, instead. As it stands, there have been an increasing number of coronavirus infections according to the Swiss Federal Office for Public Health (BAG). The Snow Polo World Cup was also postponed earlier this month, and, as the SMRA share the costs of building the tent city on the lake with that event, a cancellation was inevitable.

“We are very sad that we have had to postpone White Turf, but it is the only correct decision in view of the current situation,” said SMRA President Thomas C. Walther of the decision to postpone the meeting. “In doing so, we are taking responsibility for our active members, club members, guests, sponsors, partners and helpers, who are our top priority.

“It is our goal to hold the most important horse racing event in Switzerland in its usual unique ambience in 2022. It is not for nothing that White Turf is one of the select Swiss Top Events and has special international appeal as the only horse race on a frozen lake, set against the incomparable beauty of the Engadine mountain world.”
