Equine activities at malls over 2 weekends for Singapore International Racing Festival

SINGAPORE - The Singapore International Racing Festival (SIRF) will be held from Apr 26 to May 18, 2014.

The public can look forward to a series of fun-filled equine roadshows and activities at shopping malls over two weekends, before culminating in the two international races on May 18.

The long-awaited 13 Turf Belles, who were carefully selected from a talent search, will make their first public appearance at Bugis+ on the afternoon of Apr 26, 2014.

Donned in jockey silks of the past 13 Singapore Airlines International Cup (SIA Cup) winners, the Turf Belles will join staff from the Singapore Turf Club in the "Caps for Charity" event to sell specially-designed SIA Cup caps for a good cause.

All proceeds will be donated to the Club's adopted charity, Thye Hua Kwan EIPIC Centre @ Woodlands, to boost the charity's Resource Library as part of their Equipment and Materials Loan Program.

This programme will benefit the children in helping their caregivers to better understand their development and progress with the variety of materials from the resource library.

Equipment from the library will also be available for loan to help families assess its suitability for their child's use before committing a hefty budget for the purchase.

The public may support the event or their favourite Turf Belle by purchasing the SIA Cup caps for this meaningful cause.

The SIRF roadshows are on Saturday and Sunday, Apr 26 and 27, 2014, from 10am to 9pm at Bugis+, Level 2, Saturday and Sunday, May 3 and 4, 2014, from 10am to 9pm at Jurong Point, Level 1.
