Last visit to the Singapore Turf Club (STC) before the closure..
STC, which employs about 350 people, will run its last race, the 100th Grand Singapore Gold Cup, on Oct, 5, 2024, before it shuts its facility by March 2027.
The land where the STC in Kranji sits will be returned to the Government by March 2027, making way for housing and other developments in the area.
The closure also means the end of over 180 years of horse racing in Singapore, which has seen dwindling spectatorship over the years.
The area, covering around 120ha of land, is the size of about 200 football fields and is larger than the whole of Gardens by the Bay, which spans 101ha.
