Betting on Selangor race meetings in Malaysia from this Sunday 1 September.

SUBJECT: Launch of betting on Selangor races

DATE: 30 August 2024

RELEASED BY: 4RACING 

TAB4Racing and TABgold are delighted to announce the introduction of betting on Selangor race meetings in Malaysia from this Sunday 1 September.

This Sunday’s meeting comprises 10 races at 30-minute intervals with Race 1 at 07:15. TAB and TABgold bets on the meeting will comprise commingled Win, Place, Exacta, Quinella, Swinger, Trifecta and Trio. All bets will be to a R1 unit with no fractional betting.

Quinella (first two finishers any order) and Trio (first three finishers any order) bets are only offered if there are seven or more runners. Swinger bets can be taken if there are nine or more runners.

Initially only commingled bets will be offered, but it is intended to operate South African pools on selected bet types after the first few meetings.

Betting on Selangor races will fill the gap left by the closure of Kranji Racecourse in Singapore, where horseracing will shut down forever soon as a result of declining attendances and betting turnovers. The last Singapore meeting will take place on Saturday 5 October.

A significant number of horses currently racing in Singapore will relocate to Malaysia as well as several trainers and jockeys, which will make it easier for TAB and TABgold customers to familiarise themselves with Selangor racing.

The introduction of betting on Selangor racing is in terms of a reciprocal agreement with the Selangor Turf Club, which will offer commingled tote betting on South African races.

.....good commentary from our local Devin Pretorius.....OK streaming picture.....nice course.....pity that the commingling is not into their local pools as some dividends are shItty.....gotta listen to their local tote odds betting   from the commentator.....   

It appears a good place for the favs 😍 

e.....hopefully our Kevin Coetzee can get some more support when Singapore finally folds.....he seems to be on the backfoot in recent years 

......something very wrong with massive tote swings after the jump.....looks like bets being canceled in running....horse no 6 jumps TF at below R2-00 tears to the lead by lengths and then folds and lands up with long shot odds after race is overSunday 01 September

.....just such a pity that this nice new venue has been marred with tote manipulation....

......also no value in place and swinger bets either.....looks like the tote rake(take out) is huge and affect the nett pools.....we may be co-mingling into a very volatile market as that heavily backed horse in the last race blew out there too.....the pools seem minuscule compared to Singapore and this has to improve drastically if they wish to get punters to take an interest there.....

......in Race 2 today 2 horses in the places both indicated sub R1 payouts at the jump....R1 was paid out for each which demonstrates how p!ss poor the tote pools are with their rake.....gotta stick with the bookies then.....
