How Much Does a Race Horse Cost in Singapore?

If you're new to singapore horse racing, you might be wondering, "How much does a race horse cost in Singapore?" You may have heard about the Kranji Mile, Roll Win, and the Hong Kong racecourse. Or perhaps you'd like to know more about how to inspect a racehorse and its longevity. Whatever the case, it's important to ask the right questions.


Kranji Mile is a race horse in Singapore


The Kranji Mile is a race held annually in May at the Singapore Turf Club. It is a 1,600-metre, 8-furlong race for thoroughbred horses. The Kranji Mile is the richest race in Singapore and is open to horses aged three years old and older. The race has been a Singaporean tradition for several decades and is now a local invitation-only race.


The main chances in the Kranji Mile are Lim's Lightning and Lim's Kosciuszko. They share a first name, and are both rated among the top race horses in Singapore. While the two are very similar, their racing styles are quite different.


Roll Win is offered on Singapore and Hong Kong races


Roll Win is an option that is available on Singapore and Hong Kong horse races. It shares the same betting pool as the WIN bet and provides horse racing selections. It is offered by many online  bookmakers, so it is a popular way to bet on horse racing.

Consultation fee for inspecting a racehorse


A consultation fee is charged for the veterinarian to examine a race horse. A consultation is required for a Horse that is entered in a Covered Horserace. The Regulatory Veterinarian will review the Horse's past performances, past lay-ups (more than 60 days without a timed Workout), and last 30 days' medical history. The Regulatory Veterinarian will also review the Horse's risk factors.


Longevity of a racehorse


Longevity of a race horse is not as well-known as longevity in other sports. While racehorses have a similar lifespan to other types of athletic riding horses, running horses often outlive their predecessors. This is partly due to improvements in nutrition and veterinary medicine.


A race horse's lifespan varies, but the average is about 22 to 28 years. However, many horses are forced to retire prematurely before they reach that age. A racehorse's lifespan is a function of the level of care and living conditions they receive.
