Cazoo Derby and Oaks set to go global with World Pool
Millions of racing fans from over 20 countries will watch and bet on the high-class racing action at Epsom Downs. £3.36 million in prize money is on offer across the 14 races. World Pool sponsors two races: The World pool Handicap Stakes (2.35 pm on Friday) and the Worldpool Northern Dancer Handiap (5.15 pm Saturday).
Cazoo Derby and Oaks are going to be World Pool events. World pool is a collaboration of Totes. In 2021, CazOO Derby Day was a Worldpool event for the first time. Global betting volumes of £24 million were bet on CAZOO DERBY Day. Five out of seven races paid over the Industry Starting Price.
World Pool betting volumes are likely to exceed those of 2021. QIPCO 2,000 Guineas last month saw total pool size grow to over £22 million. The biggest pool of the day was £4.1 million on the feature race.
World Pool is introducing Moment of the Day and Year awards. Racing staff who look after the winning horse for each World Pool “Moment of Day” will receive £1,000 and a bottle of champagne. Coroebus won the Moment for 2,00 Guineas Day for providing Charlie Appleby with his first 2k Guines victory and James Doyle with first Classic winner. Qadeer Mohammed, who works at Moulton Paddocks, received the £1000 prize.
