Race Type
Racing in Hong Kong is an immensely profitable venture, with most purses eclipsing those of the Triple Crown series in the United States. The most prominent race hosted at Sha Tin is the Hong Kong Derby. The Hong Kong Derby was transferred to Sha Tin from Happy Valley in 1979. Other marquee features of the track include the Queen Elizabeth II Cup and the Champions Mile.
Hong Kong Triple Crown
Just like in every major racing country around the world, Hong Kong has its own Triple Crown series. A key difference is that there are two different three-race series, all of which are run at Sha Tin racecourse. One set of races focuses on distance and the other three races encourage speed. Unlike the North American version, the Hong Kong Triple Crown series are open for three-year-old horses and older.
Races for the Triple Crown series are held from October through May. The longer races include the Stewards Cup, Gold Cup, and the Champions & Chater Cup. Interestingly, all three races get increasingly longer as the first race to greet contenders is at 8 furlongs, the second leg is run at 1 1/5th miles and the final leg boasts a 1 1/2 mile distance.
The spring series for the Triple Crown is made up of three races which include the Hong Kong Sprint, Queen’s Silver Jubilee Cup, and the Chairman’s Sprint Prize. The Chairman’s Sprint Prize is also a part of the 10-race Global Sprint Challenge which no horse has won to this day.
