    • The Group 1 fixture at the Curragh on Saturday, May 24, featuring the Irish 2,000 Guineas, has been added to the World Pool schedule for 2025, with all races on the card set to be globally commingled. Another change to the schedule comes at Newbury on Saturday, May 17. All seven races on the card, including the G1 Lockinge Stakes, will now be part of World Pool, up from five in 2024. The World Pool, the largest globally-commingled horse racing pools, was created and is powered by the Hong Kong Jockey Club (HKJC). In total, there will be 24 World Pool fixtures in the first half of 2025, with bettors from over 28 countries able to bet into the same pools on those given days. Sam Nati, head of commingling at the HKJC, said, “We are already looking forward to what will be a busy Q2 for World Pool as we anticipate our return to the UK and Ireland for 2025, and we're delighted to have stengthened our offering with a new race day added at the Curragh and to have extended Newbury's Lockinge card to a full World Pool meeting. “We're committed to adding the best races from around the globe to the World Pool calendar, so extending our involvement in Lockinge day and taking in the Irish 2000 Guineas is an exciting development. We look forward to bringing these new races to our global customers as well as returning to some of our best performing meetings at Royal Ascot and on Derby day.” For the second year, the World Pool UK & Ireland Jockeys' Championship will begin on 2000 Guineas day at Newmarket (Saturday, May 3), with the winning rider of each World Pool race throughout the season earning points determined by the World Pool SP of their mount. The championship will run until British Champions Day at Ascot (Saturday, October 18) when a prize of £50,000 will be given to a charity of the eventual winning rider's choice. Last year, Billy Loughnane claimed the top prize and donated the £50,000 to the Christy Lambe Foundation.
