Tote Group CEO, Alex Frost, said: “We are delighted to be able to develop our partnership with the Hong Kong Jockey Club to showcase their world-class racing to as broad an audience as possible, alongside providing new betting opportunities, including the Placepot which remains the Tote\u2019s most popular bet.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n
