SJM Resorts, S.A. Macau Derby title sponsor for eighteenth year
Title-sponsored by SJM Resorts, S.A., the SJM Macau Derby was held at the Macau Jockey Club on 25 July 2021 afternoon.

Ms. Angela Leong, Managing Director of SJM Resorts, S.A., Dr. Rui Cunha, Secretary-General of SJM Resorts, S.A. and other SJM Resorts senior management members joined the owner, trainer and jockey of the winning horse at the prize presentation ceremony after the race.
Competing at their highest level, only 4-year-old horses participate in the SJM Macau Derby. This year’s 1,800-metre Derby (Group 4 Race) attracted thirteen horses to compete for the total prize money of HKD2.3 million. To add even more excitement to the races, an “SJM Macau Derby Lucky Draw” was also held at the event.
Ms. Daisy Ho, Chairman of the Board of Directors of SJM Resorts, S.A., said, “This year marks the eighteenth year of our title sponsorship for the SJM Macau Derby. We are very pleased to partner with Macau Jockey Club, in an effort to bring more exciting elements to Macau tourism and promote the diversified development of the city’s sports and leisure activities.”
