Limitations of the Sha Tin Racecourse
• Sha Tin Racecourse is the home of the Hong Kong Jockey Club’s stabling,
training and racing facilities
• Commenced operations in 1978 and was designed to accommodate up to
900 horses
• Today, we are stretched to over 1,200 horses as the number of races has
increased to 770 per year
• Limited land space has constrained the further
expansion of the horse population, number of
races and introduction of new training facilities
• The Jockey Club had been looking at different
options in Hong Kong but this has proved
difficult
