Two new functions - "Live Racing" and "Horse Selector" - will be added to the Racing Touch mobile app from tomorrow, 8 January, providing customers with an enhanced way to enjoy live racing as well as to select horses interactively.
The "Live Racing" function is currently only available to priority card holders via the HKJC TV app and the 3-in-1 classic Mobile Betting Service app, allowing them to watch live racing programmes on their mobile devices.
Starting from 8 January, Racing Touch will add "Live Racing" function, being the first and only app to provide this free service for all betting account holders*. Apart from a full screen feature, it also includes picture-in-picture, which allows users to drag the frame to any position on the screen so that they can watch live racing and browse other information at the same time. The Club will closely monitor demand for this service and will increase capacity accordingly.
"Horse Selector" provides an easy way to pick horses. First the customer selects two to six criteria out of nine that are important for them in selecting horses. Second they specify the number of horses they want to select. Horses which best meet these criteria will then be displayed. "Horse Selector" reduces time spent analysing past performance and running positions as well the hassle of shuffling a multitude of racing data.
The latest version of Racing Touch** will be launched tomorrow. Android users and iPad users can download it free of charge from racingtouch.hkjc.com and App Store respectively. For more information, please visit racingtouch.hkjc.com or call the Club's Hotline at 1817.
* Customers must be aged 18 or above
** Mobile device running Android OS 4 or iOS 7 or above.
