The Hong Kong Jockey Club announced on 28 September 2026 that it is adding new racing wagering options, including a Six Up bet type for simulcast races1. The Club said the new options will give customers a wider range of betting choices for both local and overseas races1. Customers must be aged 18 or above1.
The first Six Up pool on simulcast races will cover the six Group 1 races on Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe Day on 4 October 20261. The Club described this as extending the local racing wagering experience to overseas racing events1. After that, Six Up will also be available on selected simulcast race meetings featuring six or more races1. The Club noted that selected races may differ on individual meetings and that the fixtures are subject to its final announcement1.
On local racing, the Club will introduce an additional Six Up pool covering the first six races from 11 October 2026, on racedays featuring 10 or more races1. That means two Six Up pools on the same raceday1. The Club also said it will increase the number of Double Trio pools available on designated simulcast meetings, providing more than two Double Trio pools1.
"The Hong Kong Jockey Club ("the Club") has announced the launch of a range of new racing wagering options, including a Six Up bet type for simulcast races."
The Club said relevant details, including applicable race meetings, pool arrangements and betting information, will be announced through its official channels in due course1. Allin News reported the same announcement, describing the Six Up as the first offered on simulcast races and confirming the 4 October and 11 October dates2.

What it means for players
Six Up is a multi-race bet type that already exists on local Hong Kong racing, and this announcement extends it to overseas races shown in Hong Kong for betting1. For players who follow simulcast meetings, the Arc Day card on 4 October 2026 becomes the first overseas meeting with a Six Up pool1. For local players, racedays with 10 or more races will carry two separate Six Up pools, one of them covering the first six races1. The Club has not reported the minimum bet, dividend structure or takeout for the new pools, and it has not listed which future simulcast meetings will carry Six Up beyond the Arc Day fixture1. Details on applicable meetings and pool arrangements are to be announced later1.
What happens next
The first simulcast Six Up pool runs on 4 October 2026 at Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe Day1. The additional local Six Up pool starts on 11 October 20261. The Club will announce applicable race meetings, pool arrangements and betting information through its official channels1.
