What is World Pool?
World Pool is an exciting and innovative version of international commingling. It is an extension of the HKJC’s commingling business on Hong Kong local races, where HKJC accepts bets from overseas partners and local punters, to create the deepest and most liquid pari-mutuel pools for top races around the world.
It is World Pool’s vision to bring the world’s finest racing to a global audience all year round, and to host internationally commingled pools on these races. By following racing circuit around the globe, we aim to promote the world's best horse races, using the IFHA Top 100 G1 Races and the most important G1 Classics as a benchmark.
