Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted October 16 Journalists Posted October 16 World Pool commingling will be available on three continents during the upcoming weekend, featuring four meetings, 14 races and nine Group 1 races. At Randwick, it is The Everest Day, where Hong Kong Horse of the Year Ka Ying Rising (Shamexpress) will try his hand in the A$20-million G1 The Everest. There will be four other races under the World Pool umbrella there including the G1 King Charles III Stakes. In Melbourne, the G1 Caulfield Cup is a World Pool race, too, on Saturday. QIPCO British Champions Day is later that same day at Ascot where races two-seven are World Pool races, with the G1 QIPCO British Champions Long Distance Cup the only non-World Pool race. Also at Ascot, the World Pool Jockeys' Championship winner will be crowned. Former champion jockey Oisin Murphy holds a commanding lead over Kieran Shoemark in the contest, with the winner receiving prize-money of £50,000 to donate to a charity of their choice. There will also be a World Pool Moment of the Day chosen from the six races on British Champions Day. World Pool will also make its debut in Brazil on Saturday at Gavea Racecourse in Rio de Janeiro which will host Gran Premio Latinoamericano Day. Two Group 1 races will be part of the Hong Kong Jockey Club-powered global pools–the Gran Premio Jockey Club de Sao Paulo and the Gran Premio Latinamericano.

Sam Nati, head of commingling at HKJC, said, “The eyes of the racing world will be on Ka Ying Rising as he goes for glory in The Everest on Saturday, which is only the beginning to our biggest ever World Pool composite card. “We look forward to returning to the UK for British Champions Day as well as crowning the winner of this year's World Pool Jockeys' Championship, while it is hugely exciting to be taking World Pool to Brazil for the first time on Gran Premio Latinoamericano Day.” The post World Pool Bonanza In Store This Weekend appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
