Record World Pool turnover on Lockinge Stakes Day at Newbury

Published

Reading Time: 3 minutes

World Pool, the largest globally commingled horse racing pools created and powered by the Hong Kong Jockey Club, saw record turnover on Lockinge Stakes Day, with the fixture featuring five World Pool races for the first time, an increase from two races in 2023.

Across the five races on the card, total turnover from World Pool bet types hit HK$145.3 million (approx. £14.6 million), up from HK$66 million (approx. £6.7 million) last year.

There was a surprise result in the feature G1 Lockinge Stakes, as Audience, the runner many thought was a pacemaker for his better fancied stablemate Inspiral, never saw another rival and came home in front under rider Rab Havlin. It marked a second win at the highest level for Havlin, and a second Lockinge Stakes for John & Thady Gosden.

For the third time this season, the UK & Irish Jockeys’ Championship saw riders compete for points determined by World Pool dividends, and while Silvestre de Sousa remained top on 44.10 points, there was plenty of movement in the top five.

Audience’s win at a World Pool dividend of 21.85 was enough to catapult Rab Havlin into the top five, and meant he emerged as the leading rider on the day.

Clifford Lee notched a double, with Elite Status winning the Listed Carnarvon Stakes at a World Pool dividend of 6.95 and Lethal Levi landing the HKJC World Pool handicap at a dividend of 8.80. It was Lee’s third win of the Championship and saw him rise to fourth in the table on 27.00 points.

Oisin Murphy maintained his position in third place with a win in the G3 Aston Park Stakes aboard Middle Earth (3.65), while William Buick was also successful on the day, riding King’s Gambit (4.80) to an impressive success in the London Gold Cup Handicap.

Next up for World Pool will be a debut on Irish 1000 Guineas at the Curragh on Saturday May 26, and following that a return to the UK for a full card of races on Derby Day from Epsom on Saturday June 1, while the globally comingled pools will also be in action on the same day from Eagle Farm for Queensland Derby Day.

CryptoWins.com announces its new role as the official platform for BidCoin (BIDC) Auctions, introducing an innovative, competitive layer to crypto gaming. This launch follows a comprehensive overhaul of the CryptoWins website, designed to deliver a faster, more intuitive, and immersive user experience. Players now earn BIDC simply by playing—typically 1 BIDC per $10 wagered—and can use their balance to compete for instant-cash prizes in fast-paced auctions.

“Becoming the Home of BidCoin is a pivotal moment that aligns perfectly with our platform’s evolution,” said Michael Hilary, spokesperson for CryptoWins“Following our site overhaul, we’re merging a superior user experience with a transparent, player-driven auction model. This system puts verifiable fairness and instant rewards directly in the hands of our community, which is the core of the crypto ethos.”

How It Works: Each BidCoin auction runs on a countdown timer that resets randomly after every bid. The last bidder when the timer hits zero wins the prize. True to the ethos of cryptocurrency, all BidCoin auctions are Provably Fair. Utilizing a Merkle Tree cryptographic system, CryptoWins allows any player to independently verify the integrity and randomness of every auction result, ensuring complete transparency and trust. The technical verification process is fully documented for player review.

All winnings go straight to cash with zero wagering requirements, available for instant withdrawal. New auctions are added daily from 6:00 PM to 2:00 AM EST, with future jackpot auctions reaching up to $1,000,000.
