Time Out says

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.

From racing highs to gourmet dining, it’s all happening under the city’s neon shimmer. Prelude to BMW Hong Kong Derby (March 11)  The much‑anticipated BMW Hong Kong Derby takes place on March 22, and the celebrations begin early at Happy Valley. International singer Beverly takes to the stage with a night of chart‑topping hits, while the Derby Trivia offers fans the chance to win special prizes. Warm yourself up for the excitement leading up to the ‘once‑in‑a‑lifetime glory’ race.   St. Patrick’s Day (March 18) Feel the festival buzz and Irish spirit under the neon glow! The night begins with vibrant Celtic beats from six-piece band The Young Bucks, setting the mood with creamy Guinness and Irish-inspired treats – leading up to the main event: the Ireland Trophy.
