Eighty three (83) race meetings have been scheduled in 2009 as compared to 78 in 2008. The increase in the number of race meetings is to meet the demands of the increasing horse population at Kranji.

The significant change in the Singapore Racing Fixture 2009 is that, with the exception of the SIA Cup weekend on 16 May 2009 and 17 May 2009, there will be no weekend Singapore race meetings (ie. Saturday races followed by Sunday races). On weekends when the Club is scheduled to hold weekend race meetings under the MRA Fixture, races will be held on Friday nights followed by either Saturday afternoons or Sunday afternoons instead.

This change will allow the Club the opportunity to simulcast more Australian races on Saturdays which are growing in popularity amongst the racing fans. In addition, it will also allow the Club to continue with the simulcast of Hong Kong races on Sundays when Malaysian races and Hong Kong races are scheduled on the same day.

Presently, when Singapore races, Malaysian races and Hong Kong races are scheduled on the same Sunday, the Hong Kong races would not be simulcast. This is in response to feedback from customers who indicated that they would like the Club to continue with the simulcast of Hong Kong races on such days as well.
