It is a sad day for racing in Singapore with an announcement imminent that the doors at Singapore Turf Club will be closed from October 2024.

The Singapore Turf Club made an announcement on Monday afternoon that they will be returning the land that occupies the Kranji racecourse precinct back to the governemtn in March 2027 thus will host their last race meeting on 5th October 2024.

The rumour mil has been in overdrive in the past months that racing would not continue past 2026 however the new date comes a lot sooner than many had anticipated.

Singapore Turf Club announcement:

The Government today announced that about 120 hectares of land in Kranji on which the Singapore Racecourse sits, will be handed back to the Singapore Government in 2027 for redevelopment. Singapore Turf Club will close its facility by March 2027.

Β The Singapore Turf Club will hold its final race meeting on 5 October 2024, featuring the 100thΒ Grand Singapore Gold Cup.

Singapore Turf Club Chairman Mr Niam Chiang Meng said, β€œWe are saddened by the decision of the Government to close the Club. At the same time, we understand the land needs of Singapore, including housing and other potential uses such as leisure and recreation. We will do our best to ensure business as usual for the Club until our final race meeting. Concurrently, we will work with our stakeholders to ensure a smooth exit for local horse racing and make the necessary preparations for the estate to be handed over to the Government by March 2027.”
