World Pool First: Latin America Included and Wagering Across Three Continents

Sunday's G1 Longines Grand Premio Latinamericano at San Isidro will be an inaugural World Pool event and this will be the first time global betting will be engaged across three continents on a single weekend, the Hong Kong Jockey Club announced Thursday.

The HKJC confirmed that while the local tote in Argentina will not commingle internationally, other partners' pools from the likes of Australia, France, North America and Hong Kong will be joined up by World Pool.

The Latin American Group 1 contest will close a major weekend of World Pool action, with five races on Turnbull Stakes Day from Flemington in Australia followed by four races from Newmarket on Sun Chariot Day.

“One of the core motives for World Pool is to connect totes from across the globe for the most important races, so we're delighted to have extended our reach to take in Latin America's biggest Group 1 contest,” said Michael Fitzsimons, Executive Director, Wagering Products at the Hong Kong Jockey Club. “The combination of Turnbull Stakes Day, Sun Chariot Stakes Day and then the Gran Premio Latinoamericano on Sunday makes this weekend's World Pool action a real Group 1 feast for punters around the globe.”
