香港賽馬會 HKJC

hong kong horse racing season runs from september through july (it’s too hot in the summer). there are generally two or three meets a week, with weekend day races at the course in shatin, and wednesday night races at the smaller course in happy valley.

we went to the race on wednesday night at happy valley (HKD$10 to get in, you can use the octopus card). there you see people with newspapers in hand, groups of investment bankers, with their ties loosened, holding pints. the excitement was infectious! we bought once, based on statistics and the name of the horse lol. but then of course he or she didn’t win. overall it was an incredible experience. if you have never been to the hong kong jockey club racetrack then you should definitely go.
