The Cape Town Met race meeting at Kenilworth on Saturday has been
classified as a World Pool event by the Hong Kong Jockey Club and that adds a
new tote betting dimension to Cape Town’s greatest race.

TAB Win, Place, Swinger and Quinella pools on Races 4 to 11 at Kenilworth
will be commingled into the Hong Kong Jockey Club tote, which operates the
biggest tote pools in the world.

It’s a rare opportunity for TAB customers to bet big amounts without
significantly diminishing payouts. The commingled pools on each of the four
bet types are set to average more than R6 million and in most instances, it will
take a really huge wager to depress a payout.

All other tote pools at the meeting will be hosted by TAB as usual and these
include the Pick 6, which is set to total more than R10 million as a result of a
R3-million carryover.

The likely mega Pick 6 pool is adding to the excitement of betting into the Hong
Kong pools on a South African race meeting and TAB is also offering two other
carryover pools.

The Quartet on the Met, in which players must select the first four to finish in
the correct order, gets a R500,000 carryover boost that should generate a total
pool of over R2 million.

And to end what will be a glorious raceday with a flourish, there’s a R100,000
Quartet carryover to the last of the 12 races. The 1400m race has attracted a
maximum field of 16 runners, offering the potential for a mega Quartet
dividend.

Three TAB Jackpot pools will be in operation for the first time at a South
African race meeting. Jackpot one will be on races 1 to 4 with Jackpot two on
races 5 to 8 and Jackpot three on the last four races. TAB and TABgold retail
customers must mark the Leg 1 race number on betting forms to ensure their
bets go into the correct Jackpot pool.

The racing action will be top drawer from start to finish. The Met has attracted
the country’s best middle-distance runners and there are five other feature races
on the programme including two Grade 1 clashes.

TAB betting on the meeting will only be available the day before the race
because pools must open simultaneously with Hong Kong tote pools. TAB
customers must note that Hong Kong tote rules will apply in all World Pool bets
on races 4 to 11. Full betting details are:
