Happy Valley meeting in Hong Kong abandoned

The Hong Kong Jockey Club (the Club) has been closely monitoring the latest information on Severe Tropical Storm Nalgae. In light of a high likelihood that the Hong Kong Observatory will hoist No. 8 typhoon signal in the next few hours, and that the Club needs a few hours to mobilise its employees to report duty at the racecourses for the race meeting on Wednesday and the consideration of their safety, as well as the challenges on horse transportation and other factors, the Club has decided to cancel the race meeting (2 November) at Happy Valley Racecourse.

We plan to seek approval by the Hong Kong SAR Government in accordance with established procedures to hold a race meeting on 3 July 2023.
