This racecourse is the venue for events like the Singapore Airlines International Cup, Singapore Gold Cup Singapore Derby and Lion City Cup. The four-storey grandstand at the Singapore Turf Club can accommodate 30,000 race-goers, owners, race officials and guests. Tourists in the Hibiscus Room on the third level get a better view of the races. A strict dress code is observed: shorts, slippers and singlets are prohibited. Within the Hibiscus Room, no collarless T-shirts, jeans, Bermuda shorts or sandals are allowed. All race-goers must be at least 18 years old. Hand phones are prohibited on race days. Please call for schedule. Racing in Singapore has come a long way since it was set up in 1842 by a group of racing enthusiasts. The milestones it has reached through the years have been impressive, culminating in the Club's move to its exciting new home at Kranji in August 1999 as it seeks to achieve greater prominence in the international racing arena. Built for more than $500 million, the 81.2 hectares racecourse has received a Recognition Award from the Philadelphia Chapter of the American Institute of Architects for its 'fun' and 'whimsical' design which successfully 'invites and welcomes' visitors. The Kranji racecourse ranks among the premier racecourses and boasts some 'firsts' like the El-Toro Zoysia grass track. Other unique features include the latest state-of-the-art technology such as the patron entry system, a glass-sided horsewalk, which goes through the grandstand and connects the parade ring to the racetracks. |
