| Hong Kong's first official race meet was held at Happy Valley in December 1846. Since then the Hong Kong cityscape has grown up around the track, making Happy Valley one of the few in-city racecourses world-wide. During racing season, fans enjoy the popular mid-week night racing and on weekends, an exciting afternoon of racing entertainment. |
| Sha Tin Racecourse, with its Penfold Park complex, is situated in the country park ambience of the New Territories. Opened in 1978 as a world-class racetrack, it hosts today several international status races and attracts star racing competitors from around the world. |
