With a heritage that spans just five years, the HK$10-million Cathay Pacific Hong Kong Sprint (G1) has already established a niche as a premier race for world-class speedsters. Offering the highest purse anywhere on the globe for a 1000-metre turf event, the Cathay Pacific Hong Kong Sprint will be run this year on Sunday, 12 December, as part of the Cathay Pacific Hong Kong International Races programme at Sha Tin Racecourse.
