Tote Looks to Hong Kong for Racing

With U.K. racetracks closed, Tote Betting has partnered with the Hong Kong Jockey Club to give fans something to wager on.

Tote Looks to Hong Kong for Racing

British and Irish racing meets are sidelined by the coronavirus pandemic, so the Tote has gone to Hong Kong to find a replacement. U.K. customers can bet on races from two meets through a partnership with the Hong Kong Jockey Club.

Tote bettors can play the Placepot on meets from Happy Valley Racecourse and Sha Tin Racecourse every week.

“We are delighted to be able to develop our partnership with the Hong Kong Jockey Club to showcase their world class racing to as broad an audience as possible,” said Alex Frost, Chief Executive of the UK Tote Group.

Punters will have access to live coverage from the tracks, as well as place race-by-race bets.
