Singapore is home to a number of different horse breeds. In addition to Thoroughbreds, you will find Gaited horses, Dutch Warmbloods, and Northern Hemisphere Turf. These horses are all very well-liked by racegoers, so you will find a large number of them here.
Thoroughbreds
Singapore is a country where you can find some of the finest Thoroughbreds in the world. Unlike many other countries, Singapore does not have a breeding industry, so all Singapore thoroughbred bloodstock is imported from abroad. Most come from Australia and New Zealand, but some also come from England, France and Ireland. Occasionally, local horse owners purchase imported horses and then send them to Singapore-based trainers. Jockeys must be licensed and granted by the Singapore Turf Club, a body which oversees horse racing in the country.
Gaited horses
If you are looking to watch and bet in Singapore horse racing results, you should look for races featuring gaited horses. These horses are known for their smooth ride, sure footing, and good temperament. Gaited horses are also good options for people with joint problems.
Dutch Warmbloods
The Dutch Warmblood breed is a middleweight horse that was bred for both recreational and competitive purposes. Its traits are a well-proportioned head and body, a rectangular frame, and attractive appearance. The breed's color varies depending on its pedigree, and it can be black, chestnut, or grey.
Northern Hemisphere Turf
In Singapore, there is a growing tradition of Northern Hemisphere Turf horse racing. Singapore hosts the Kranji Mile, a Group 1 race that is held over 1,600 metres. This race has replaced the Queen Elizabeth II Cup as the first leg of the Singapore Triple Crown series, which is a series of races featuring top international turf runners. The Singapore Gold Cup and Raffles Cup also take place in Singapore.
Standardbreds
Standardbreds are racehorses that are bred for both performance and looks. They are usually of medium to large size, with wide foreheads and deep nostrils, and long bodies. They are also generally dark or bay in color, with thick, firm hooves. These horses have calm dispositions and are very patient.
Friesian horses
Friesian horses are famous for their beautiful coat and mane. They have also been used in iconic Hollywood movies. Their long feathers and flowing mane make them perfect for fantasy or historical dramas. The first movie featuring a Friesian horse was "Ladyhawke", released in 1985.
