About World Pool | VRC Victoria Racing Club
The Victoria Racing Club (VRC), in collaboration with Tabcorp and the Hong Kong Jockey Club, is thrilled to announce the introduction of the World Pool at the TAB Turnbull Stakes Race Day at Flemington. This marks the second time the World Pool has been offered on an Australian meeting, bringing together punters from around the globe to bet on the final five races of the October 7 Group 1 feature meeting.
What is the World Pool?
The World Pool combines SuperTAB with the Hong Kong tote pools, creating one of the largest betting pools on Australian shores. This collaboration provides punters with:
- Greater pricing stability
- Access to larger payouts, especially for exotic bets
- Global exposure for Flemington racing
The World Pool was first introduced in Australia during the Black Caviar Lightning Race Day at Flemington in February. Its success has paved the way for its return, offering punters the opportunity to bet into super-sized pools with enhanced returns.
How It Works
The World Pool leverages global liquidity to deliver better value and odds certainty for punters. A prime example is Nature Strip’s dominant win in the Group 1 King’s Stand Stakes at Royal Ascot in 2022. Here’s how it benefited punters:
- Nature Strip accounted for 60% of the S-TAB Win pool, which would typically result in a payout of around $1.50.
- However, due to the World Pool’s international liquidity, the payout was normalized to $3.25, matching fixed odds and international bookmaker payouts.
This demonstrates how the World Pool provides better returns and greater odds certainty for all customers.
VRC on the Global Stage
VRC Chairman Neil Wilson expressed his enthusiasm for the continued partnership with stakeholders on the World Pool initiative:
“We are pleased that our partners have selected Flemington to once again host a World Pool meeting. TAB is a long-term major partner of the VRC, and the Club has an important strategic alliance with the Hong Kong Jockey Club. It is great to be working together again to significantly increase the global reach of Flemington racing via the World Pool.”
The TAB Turnbull Stakes Race Day will feature Hong Kong superstar Romantic Warrior, making his Australian debut at Flemington. The World Pool will be a highlight of the day, offering enhanced betting opportunities across five races.
Key Benefits of the World Pool
- Global Reach: Punters from multiple countries can participate, increasing the size of the betting pool.
- Better Returns: Normalized payouts provide greater value for punters.
- Enhanced Exposure: Flemington racing gains additional global recognition.

Ok a glass of Pinot Grigio then, hmmmmmmmmm sorry no. Allright just a coke. Arrr sorry we only have Pepsi. Ya kidding me , the most popular drink in the world, nope. Ok a glass of lemon squash then, yes thats ok. I wonder how much $$$money$$$ I've saved ? Truly not a good experience to say the least. 3 stars for the staff 0 stars for this joint. We have to stop blaming covid19.
Incredible venue
I have been going to the tavern almost every day after work. Got along very well with most staff. And now I have handed my membership over Due to one staff member Guyan belittling me and his manager Greg or Glen overhearing him and did nothing. He should of stepped in and defused the situation, but instead he just stood there and did notthing. I don't like the staff telling me to go and get a pie from 7 eleven. No more beers or pokies after work from me.
We visited during Oak's day. Great experience with a very elegant and lively crowd. The food was good and very well served.
Located in Flemington Racecourse, Headquarters Tavern has Pokies, Tab, Live Sports and a bistro. The Staff provide a great service making everyone feel welcome in a friendly environment that is Headquarters Tavern. Security staff also have great interaction with patrons and are always there should anyone need help. Definitely a place to go back to.
Clean, roomy, nice staff, good prices.
It's a very nice n friendly club
I am giving them three stars only because their address on the website is wrong 448 Epson rd Flemington. Take me a long while to drive around to get there, and the racing during that time of day makes it harder. except that, all staff was wonderful, and I finally make it to my meeting.
Lovely staff and good beers on tap
Great venue, not much luck on pokies
