The average horse training costs of each trainer are published on a monthly basis. The training costs include basic livery, trainer's fee, retained jockey/work rider fee, medication, supplements, treatments, surgery, feed, bedding and other variable items such as grass and saddlery. This information is intended to help Owners to better understand the livery charges for their horse(s).
The Club has a long-standing commitment to supporting Hong Kong’s racehorse Owners, recognising their investment in high-quality horses is fundamental to Hong Kong’s world-class racing.
The Hong Kong Jockey Club would like to update Owners that as a result of Television Broadcasts Limited’s (TVB) new channels arrangement approved by the Communications Authority, with effect from 22 April 2024, TVB Finance, Sports and Information Channel (“FSI”) (Channel 85) will cease operation and all racing programmes and Mark Six draws currently aired on FSI (Channel 85) will be broadcast on Channel 82 (to be renamed as TVB Plus). The horse racing live programme Trackside will continue to provide Nicam services.
To further enhance the arrival experience for Members and guests at the Sha Tin Racecourse, the current Members Main Entrance (MME) will undergo renovation starting from late February 2024. The renovation will include a new iconic canopy standing in front of the Grandstand, allowing for a private car drop-off area under a weather-proof environment.
Starting from Sunday, 19 November 2023, the following improvement measures will be effective:
The Owners Lounge 1/F at Grandstand II, Happy Valley Racecourse is now open. Providing tables for two, the new Owners Lounge 1/F features simple Chinese a la cart menu with comfortable seating in a relaxing and cozy ambience.
As the Gale or Storm Signal No. 8 will be hoisted overnight and Super Typhoon Saola will be closest to Hong Kong from Friday (1 Sep) until the early hours of Saturday (2 Sep), The Hong Kong Jockey Club announces that, after considering the weekend’s uncertain weather conditions and the importance of public safety, the Pre-season Carnivals scheduled on Saturday (2 Sep) and Sunday (3 Sep) have been cancelled.
