S'pore richest horse race put into world series

SINGAPORE: The Singapore Airlines International Cup, the
richest horse race in the city-state, is to be part of the World
Series Racing Championship next year.

Inclusion in the prestigious world series will put the three-
million Singapore dollar (US$1.64 million) event along the likes
of events such as the Arlington Million in the United States and
Japan Cup in Tokyo.

"We are delighted. This shows that Singapore horse racing has
achieved international recognition," said Yu Pang Fey, chief
executive of the Singapore Turf Club Monday. The event will take
place in May next year. --AFP
