Get ready for the first feature race of the year at Singapore Turf Club, the 22nd edition of Kranji Mile
The wait is finally over as Singapore’s horse racing community anticipates the comeback of live feature races. The $1 million Kranji Mile will return to Singapore Turf Club (STC) in full swing for its 22nd edition on 21 May 2022.
After two long years of feature races happening behind closed doors, the Singapore Group 1 Kranji Mile, STC’s first feature race of the year, is all set to bring spectators the unique experience, thrill and excitement that watching live sports has to offer.
Barrier trials are currently underway for the 1,600 metres on turf thoroughbred horse race with one of the biggest prize purses in Singapore racing up for grabs.
First introduced in 2000, Kranji Mile was upgraded to Group 1 status in 2006 and revamped as an invitational race in 2018. It has seen 18 local winners until Hong Kong’s Southern Legend won the race back-to-back in 2018 and 2019. Since 2020, the race has been opened only to local runners.
Spectators intending to attend the feature race in-person are required to be fully vaccinated* to enter the Club. With thousands of guests expected in attendance, validation of vaccination status and SafeEntry check-in are required and via TraceTogether token or app only.
In accordance with prevailing guidelines, mask-wearing remains mandatory indoors and at areas deemed indoors.
Members of the public must be 18 years old and above to attend the races. Grandstand Level 1 is accessible via direct deduction of $6 each on EzLink or NETS FlashPay card, or in cash at $8 each via self-service ticketing kiosks located at the Club. Grandstand Level 3 entry tickets priced at $30 each are also available for onsite purchase. Visit https://www.turfclub.com.sg/en/kranji-mile-2022.html for more information.
