Horse racing is a big deal in this city as it remains the only sport on which Hongkongers can legally bet. Head down to Happy Valley Racecourse every Wednesday during race season (typically July to September) for the best of the action and plenty of extra trackside fun. Featuring eight races, try your luck and place a bet on an in-form horse. There are regular themes for these Wednesday events, so join the party and be sure to pop over to the beer garden for some ice-cold brews.
