"The Hong Kong Jockey Club's races attract elite horses from all over the world, resulting in a premier racing product and the world's largest pari-mutuel wagering pools. Last year, between its two tracks, the Club hosted over 770 races with over 9,500 starters. With average field sizes of more than 12 runners per race and huge co-mingled pools, we are confident our players will love the expanded racing schedule." The Hong Kong Jockey Club's Executive Director of Racing, William A. Nader, added: "We are thrilled to partner with TwinSpires.com, and invite players from America's largest Advance Deposit Wagering service into our live horse racing pools."
