The Grand Singapore Gold Cup is the final race meeting before the Kranji facility shuts by March 2027.

The Singapore Gold Cup will be the last race of the Oct 5 programme and its prize money has been increased from $1 million to $1.38 million.

The STC said in a press statement on Sept 17 that the Grand Singapore Gold Cup will feature “an elevated race programme” with 10 races and activities to commemorate Singapore’s racing heritage and journey. “With all 10 races running on turf track for the day, robust track maintenance to ensure that the track continues to be at its peak condition, would be critical for the safety of jockeys and the horses.”

The Singapore Gold Cup will be the last race of the Oct 5 programme and its prize money has been increased from $1 million to $1.38 million. STC is also putting in more money across the other nine races – the purse for the Class 2 event has doubled from $85,000 to $170,000, for example – and for the previous race day on Sept 28.
