The world is a stage at Sha Tin

Sha Tin will be the stage for the international racing elite to play out the Cathay Pacific Hong Kong International Races on 13 December.

Four Gr.1 races, worth a combined HK$62m (approx. US$8m) in stakes, have lured 34 international runners to join 19 of the very best from Hong Kong.

Twenty-two individual Gr.1 winners are present in the quartet of races including nine in the Cathay Pacific Hong Kong Sprint alone from nine racing jurisdictions overall.

We are delighted to have attracted so many of the worlds best horses, trainers and jockeys to the Turf World Championships on the 125th anniversary of the Hong Kong Jockey Club, said Mr William A Nader, Executive Director of Racing at the HKJC.

The recent history of this great meeting exhibits neck-and-neck rivalry between Hong Kong-trained horses and those from the rest of the world. For the last four years, the meeting has been tied at two wins apiece for the home team and those from abroad.




Many believe this is the strongest home defence ever assembled with valid winning chances in each race, but this is a prerequisite given the strength of the visiting contingent from five continents.




The Cathay Pacific Hong Kong International Races meeting is the most prestigious event on Hong Kongs sporting calendar I can assure everyone a feast of world class racing on the second Sunday in December.
