World Class Racing

The past 15 years have seen Hong Kong horse racing establish a major presence on the international stage and Hong Kong trained horses build a growing reputation overseas.

The Club's two racecourses offer residents and visitors a unique racing experience, while the integrity, health and safety of Hong Kong's racing operations are much admired worldwide.

The Cathay Pacific Hong Kong International Races in December are now widely recognised as the world championships of turf racing, featuring four International Group One races on a single day - the Hong Kong Cup, Sprint, Vase and Mile - and a total purse of HK$62 million. Together with the Audemars Piguet QEII Cup and Champions Mile held each April, these international events attract top thoroughbreds - and racing fans - from both the Northern and Southern hemispheres.

The Club also plays an important role in international racing administration. Chief Executive Officer Mr Winfried Engelbrecht-Bresges, is current Chairman of the Asian Racing Federation and a Vice-Chairman of the International Federation of Horseracing Authorities.
