Starting on Saturday 27 January with Met Day at Kenilworth in South Africa, one World Pool Moment of the Day will be selected at each World Pool meeting to win a prize of HK$40,000 (or equivalent).
Each winning groom will also enter the chance to be named World Pool Moment of the Year and win a VIP trip for four to Hong Kong for either the 2025 Hong Kong Derby or 2025 Champions Day.
Each individual World Pool Moment of the Day winners will be narrowed down to a shortlist, before being voted on by the public to determine the World Pool Moment of the Year, which will be revealed at the Hong Kong International Races at Sha Tin in December.
