The torrential rain of the century hit Hong Kong and affected it a lot, but it did not stop the “horses from running”. The new horse season begins today (10th), and the opening ceremony will be held at the horse debut ring at noon. There was a lion dance performance on site, and a group of jockeys were also present to meet horse racing fans; Jockey Club Chairman Lee Tze-Ho also came to preside over the opening ceremony and dot the lion’s eyes.
Under the yellow rain, most horse racing fans chose to watch the race in the indoor lobby
The Jockey Club continued last year’s arrangement, and horse racing fans had to make reservations online before entering. There was a large flow of people at the scene, and some people were waiting for the train to the racecourse. However, the weather was not good in the morning, and most horse fans chose to stay indoors under the yellow rain. Watching the race in the lobby, there are also horse racing fans who are waiting for the rain to subside to watch the race. As of nearly 12 noon, many horse fans flocked to the scene.
In addition, a “good luck gong” is set up inside the racecourse. Many horse racing fans ring the gong to pray for good luck when entering the racecourse. All visitors will also receive a calendar for the new horse racing season.
