First run in 1846, the Ladies' Purse is one of the oldest-established races in Hong Kong, after which a gold coin in a wallet will be presented to the winning jockey, owner and trainer by a renowned lady!
The highly anticipated "Sa Sa Ladies' Purse" (1800m) will be staged as the featured race − last season's winner, Vaugirard, took home the silver purse only by a neck as the Australian-born gelding fought off the challenge of Irian. Indeed, we are certainly expecting more emerging stars of great potential to compete for this historic fixture; the prize money for the race has been raised to a grand total of HK$2.4 million and it is now a Group 3 event, so don't miss any of the action!
