Happy Valley

Hong Kong is home to one of the world famous horse racecourses known as Happy Valley, which holds races on Wednesday evenings. The racecourse is located on Hong Kong island amidst the urban skyscrapers. It is heavily populated by the expatriate British population and Anglos more generally (aka gweilos). It appears to be the party happening place on Wednesday night.

The horses race on grass.

I was 100% unsuccessful on my wagering over five races.

    Next time tell me and I will handicap some of the races for you. You make the wager.
