HK$108 million in mega prizes to mark season-opening raceday on 7 September

The Hong Kong Jockey Club|Sep 01, 2025
Racing at Sha Tin
Hong Kong Jockey Club The new racing season kicks off at Sha Tin Racecourse on September 7.

The new racing season will kick off at Sha Tin Racecourse on 7 September, with the Club offering HK$28 million in jackpot prizes, alongside the first-ever HK$80 million Mark Six Season Opening Snowball draw. Customers* will have the chance to win prizes totalling an estimated HK$108 million.

HK$28 million season-opening jackpot prizes
The Club will offer HK$28 million in season-opening jackpot prizes to mark the start of the racing season. A jackpot of HK$10 million will be offered from the Jackpot Reserve for Triple Trio. If there is only one HK$10 winning unit for the pool, the Triple Trio dividend could reach an estimated HK$20 million.

Additionally, topped up from the Jackpot Reserve, a jackpot of HK$1 million will be offered for the fifth Double Trio, and the dividend for a single HK$10 winning unit could reach an estimated HK$8 million.

First-ever HK$80 million Mark Six Season Opening Snowball draw
The Club will hold its first-ever Season Opening Snowball draw on 6 September. It is estimated that the First Division Prize Fund for a single HK$10 winning ticket could reach HK$80 million. Please stay tuned for further announcements from the Club.

Restoration of Operator Reserve rate
Starting from the race meeting on 7 September, the Operator Reserve deduction rates for the Double Trio as well as the Quartet and First 4 Merged Pool, which were adjusted last season for the Club’s 140th anniversary celebrations, will be restored to pre-celebration levels. This means the Operator Reserve deduction rate for the Double Trio will be 0.5% of the Club’s revenue, and there will be no Operator Reserve deduction for the Quartet and First 4 Merged Pool.

The Operator Reserve is a reserve pool deriving through a deduction from the Club’s revenue after dividend payouts. As usual, the payout ratios for the above pools will remain unchanged.

By continuously enhancing the racing betting experience, the Club reviews its product offerings from time to time to meet the diverse needs of customers.

*All customers must be aged 18 or above.
