Come Horseracing Tour

Experience one of Hong Kong's most popular activities in style on the Come Horseracing Tour. This tour gives visitors the chance to spend either a day of racing at Sha Tin or an evening at Happy Valley in the plush comfort of the Hong Kong Jockey Club Members' Enclosure enjoying all of the heart-stopping action.

Nothing sets Hong Kong abuzz with excitement quite like the thrill of horseracing. The atmosphere is exhilarating, betting is feverish and there are potentially huge rewards.

Giant video screens (the Sha Tin screen is the longest in the world) face the stands, so you never lose track of the horses. Picking your favourite could not be easier – simply place your bets at the Jockey Club's fully computerised on-course betting terminals. These are linked with over 100 off-course betting branches throughout the territory, so even those not attending the tracks can reap rewards. Race meetings are held on most Wednesday evenings and weekends throughout the September to early July season.

You may check the horse racing schedule and racing events on the Hong Kong Jockey Club website.

Horseracing, a popular activity in Hong Kong

Hong Kong Local Culture - Horseracing

Horseracing was introduced to Hong Kong soon after it became a British colony in 1842. For many years it has been the most popular sport in Hong Kong, with a huge following. Hong Kong boasts more punters per capita and the highest racing turnover in the world, in spite of competition from football gambling. Some of the world's top jockeys and trainers - as well as horses - make their home here.
