Horse racing in Hong Kong

  • Photographer
    Kwok Man Tai, Hong Kong

The British tradition of horse racing left its mark with the creation
of one of the most important entertainment and gambling
institutions in Hong Kong. Established as the Royal Hong Kong
Jockey Club in 1884, the non-profit organisation conducts nearly
700 races every season at the two race tracks in Happy Valley and
Sha Tin. The sport annually draws millions of dollars of tax
revenue. Off-track betting is available from overseas bookmakers.
