(1888PressRelease) October 15, 2009 - Kuala Lumpur – Singapore has always been a preferred destination for travellers from all over the world. Holidaymakers head to the island nation to enjoy the variety of attractions such as the Singapore Discovery Centre which is perfect for the whole family or the Singapore Flyer, the world’s largest ferries wheel that made its debut in 2008. Animal lovers would not be disappointed with a visit to the Singapore Zoo or Jurong Bird Park where the animals are housed in habitats closely replicated to ensure their wellbeing. And business travellers would certainly appreciate the general efficiency in doing business in Singapore with its global connectivity and business-friendly policies.

Not unlike most modern cities, most Singaporeans are caught up in the rat race daily as they strive to maintain or enhance their lifestyle. This coming 18th of October however, a different kind of race will take place at the Singapore Turf Club. The best of the best in the thoroughbred horse racing world would vie for the Raffles Cup and the S$500,000 prize money. Galloping across the 1.8km track at the Kranji course, the race is open to three-year-olds and upwards, and run under the weight-for-age condition. The annual event attracts fellow enthusiasts and visitors from all over the world who come to the race to watch the best thoroughbreds thunder their way down the track to claim the number one spot and the cool cash prize.

Named after Sir Stamford Raffles, famously regarded as the founder of modern Singapore, the Raffles Cup is an annual event that is well-attended by the horse racing enthusiasts from Singapore, the neighboring countries and as far away as Australia and New Zealand. The first race was held in 1991 and since then, the Raffles Cup continues to feature prominently in the list of important events in Singapore.
