- The Singapore Racecourse in Kranji will run its final race in Oct 2024 before it closes for good by March 2027. This comes amid declining in-person attendance at the races, which plunged by more than 70% last year as compared to 2010. The racecourse sits on about 120ha of land -- larger than the size of Gardens by the Bay. The government said the site will be redeveloped for housing and other purposes, including leisure and recreation. The government will also work with stakeholders to document the Singapore Turf Club's heritage.

They should redevelop Ridout road for foreigners !!!!
When will the PAP close down?
PAP's votes also going down . Time to demolish the political party also.
We have two casinos -- oops! Two Integrated Resorts -- that Singaporeans CANNOT visit without paying a penalty -- oops! "Entry Fee" -- and the only place for see horse racing/betting is being closed down... I do not see the govt opening up the casinos, i mean, Integrated Resorts to Singaporeans, or lowering the "entry fee". In due course, the Singapore Turf Club might just show horse races in KL, Ipoh, Penang (I believe they already do) on screens, and bettors can gather there. STC may just expand their viewing halls (if there is demand), or shrink the rooms as needed.
Every country has a turf club, strange that they will abolish it. Sad.
Sg only have one race course but have many golf course. This is really a people choice?
Sg is really running out of land to build new housing...
This government will forever divert the truth of over import of foreigners causing congestion n overcrowding. PAP knnbcjb
Yeah yeah while having so many golf club, for sure cannot touch them, if not ministers and the rich go where to play golf
@@leehyunsong7001 Seems like you didn't hear what was said in the video. A lot of the country club land has been returned to the state.
@@chenghonggoh4746 so true, now is the race course turn, wait, i forgot this is the only race course, pai seh, I thought we have a few more
@@leehyunsong7001 LOL. You have quite a sense of humour. The only thing regrettable about the race course is the loss of a heritage site. On the other hand, country clubs are so far removed from the man in the street. So I don't feel the loss.
admire the elite govt of Singapore that often can make the right decision
👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍
Vote them out is the only solution to save Singapore
Race course is an institution of the British IFC.
Seems like bad idea to end this.
😢
If it is "No Horse Run" what's in store for punters, "Running Dogs"?🤔
More flats and shopping malls, just what Singapore needs.
And spas
If i go Kranji mrt, it is to visit JB. Really very far for me
Use the place for spiritual rehabilitation purpose or build old folks home.
The moment the old folks see horse racing, confirm they will feel young and active once more.....
Never envisaged this would happen.
Habibi come to Malaysia, Malaysia race horse
Poor management, never put more in more effort to make kranji happened,
Singapore Turf Club( f.k.a. Singapore Sporting Club (SSC) has history of more than 180 years. It is not cultural property, but hope they preserve something whether tangible or intangible to let future generation know about it.
Build houses for foreigners invasion !!!!
Looks like it. Dont think humans stay in stables last time I checked

Maybe you move back to the old Turf Club, may be the business is better? Cos so ulu, no wonder no one wants to go there. And the land bank you have sitting in Bt Timah, not like anyone using. Its a bit of a shame, a piece of heritage just gone.
Even the dead at lim chu kang has to move on top of many other vegetable and poultry farms around that area with short notice. The birds at jbp already moved. What makes u think the horse cant move? Oh this time its close down after move 3 times already. Orchard towers and golden mile closed too. Paya lebar airbase to move to tengah too. All shipping container already move to tuas. Expect more surprise moves to come. Whos next? 😂
Horses are sentient beings who can provide therapy but are abused in racing not because they want but because of humans striking at them. They often run to exhaustion and sustain injuries, often very painful ones. Once they "underperform" they're slaughtered. All for humans' penchant for gambling and exploitation. It's immoral to say the least.
Pity the betting uncles and aunties, thanks to population growth 😂😂
Everything is All About Profits & More Profits !!! What Developmt ? Aiming for Population of 10M or 12M by year 2050 . By the time , WE ARE BURNING UP WITH SO MUCH CONCRETE HERE & THERE !!!

PAP knnbcjb
Rotten to the core
Erase the history, 100 plus years of history so what, government do this without consulting the people.
Iconic place ,but for profit they destroy it.Thks you cronies minister.reclaim land where ?
Even though it is not a popular decision, it is the right decision.
With the extremely high demand in housing and low supply of available housing now, we need the land (which has been clearly under utilised).
With an area that big, supply will increase significantly, which can potentially lower housing prices in the future.
Good...a waste of land ! use it for housing development to our Singapore citizens
True, ministers need more bungalows, where got so much lands
@@leehyunsong7001 what the ministers need is to retire b4 renting bungalows left vacant with no use...spore need to fully utilise the land...families waiting for new btos while ministers renting bungalows!! Outrageous!
@@leehyunsong7001 Ministers shd be serving the public, not themselves
Let me say. Singapore is heading for big trouble.
4D TOTO CASINOS SGX. BIG SWEEP?????????
GOD BLESS CITIZENS OF
SINGAPORE..
HALLELUJAH TO THE LORD🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Because the birth rate is declining and the population is aging so need replacement. Otherwise the economy will be declining as well with lesser people and increasing lack of manpower due to old aging people.
