Sha Tin Racing Track

Sha Tin Racecourse is the centre of Group 1 racing in Hong Kong and is widely regarded as one of the world’s premier racing venues, offering a first-class experience for both participants and spectators.

Racing at Sha Tin delivers high-quality competition throughout the year and provides a strong wagering product for punters. The season typically runs from September through to June or July, with the standout event being the Longines Hong Kong International Races held in mid-December. This prestigious meeting attracts elite horses from around the globe and features four Group 1 races: the Longines Hong Kong Cup, Longines Hong Kong Mile, Longines Hong Kong Sprint, and the Longines Hong Kong Vase.

Approximately 46 race meetings are conducted at Sha Tin each year, including all 12 Group 1 races staged in Hong Kong. Most meetings take place on Sunday afternoons and regularly draw large crowds, particularly among dedicated racing enthusiasts.

Located in the New Territories, around 18 kilometres from Hong Kong’s CBD, Sha Tin is one of only two racecourses in the region, the other being Happy Valley.

The venue features two grandstands, and its layout provides wide, unobstructed sightlines that deliver an impressive viewing experience for on-course patrons.
