Golden Slipper meeting joins World Pool roster

Australia is set to host additional World Pool meetings in 2026, with the total number potentially increasing further, pending Hong Kong government approval.

Golden Slipper day has been added to the schedule, with all 10 races from Rosehill to be commingled on March 21.

World Pool wagering will also operate on Australian Guineas day at Flemington and Chipping Norton Stakes day at Randwick, both scheduled for February 28.

Each of the Australian racedays features at least one Group 1 contest that has been included in the International Federation of Horseracing Authorities’ Top 100 races within the past three years.

The confirmed Australian fixtures, along with new South African racedays, have been given the green light by the Hong Kong government, which regulates World Pool operations.

A further three Australian meetings remain under consideration, including All Aged Stakes day at Randwick on April 18, Winx Stakes day at Randwick on August 22 and Memsie Stakes day at Caulfield on August 29.
