Yup, Horses!
Horse racing is a favored spectacle for Hong Kong residents (especially the old people hehe...) and foreigners alike. The MTR (HK metro) East Rail Line takes a special branch route to Penfold Park Horsetrack on racing days, I think I happened to catch the first racing day of the year - I do think horse racing starts in late spring generally.
Another one of Hong Kong's landmarks, and I had never been to a horsetrack before. I saw gambling "tickets" for soccer matches, basketball and baseball games, as well as the horses themselves - I took a ticket as my souvenir. Horse racing in Hong Kong is sponsored by the Jockey Club; and surprisingly, the Jockey Club itself is non-profit and donates a large amount of earnings to charity.
