 Attending
a
race
meeting
under
the
dazzling
lights
of
the
Happy
Valley
Racecourse
is
an
opportunity
to
capture
the
essence
and
the
vitality
of
Hong
Kong
Chinese
culture.
This
magnificent
course
has
been
the
home
of
Hong
Kong
racing
since
the
first
meeting
was
held
on a
strip
of
reclaimed
marshland
in
1846.
To
enjoy
all
the
action
of
this
spectacle,
join
a
Come
Horseracing
Tour
during
the
annual
Sept-June
horseracing
season.
Today,
the
track
is
ultra-sophisticated
with
computerised
betting
and
races
broadcast
live
on
gigantic
screens.
Night
racing
was
introduced
in
1973
and
was
an
immediate
success.
For
sheer
excitement
and
the
opportunity
to
rub
shoulders
with
the
locals,
nothing
beats
a
night
at
the
races
in
Happy
Valley.
The
nearby
Hong
Kong
Racing
Museum
offers
a
fascinating
glimpse
of
the
sport's
exciting
history. |
