Hong Kong Daily Races Betting Odds and Racecards
Today’s racecards at Racing-Odds.com will reveal whether there are any meetings taking place at a Hong Kong racecourse, although there’s a decent chance that there will be some fixtures on the horizon considering that over 700 horse races take place during the course of a calendar year.
The daily races all have betting odds available and the daily racecards will yield a lot of important information. We try to present this data in an accessible format so that you can find each horse’s latest form, the weight it is carrying, the trainer, the jockey and other stats that are going to inform your opinion.
We provide the Hong Kong racecards free of charge and recommend that you look through the Sha Tin race card and the Happy Valley race card to see which races make the most appeal to you. There are lots of available bets for each race, although the majority of customers simply like to try and back the winner.
The betting odds for a daily race in Hong Kong will generally be available the day before the fixture, with the bookies pricing up a meeting when the final declarations have been made and they will also be keen not to stand out too much with a particular price.
Key Horse Races in Hong Kong
Hong Kong DerbyThere are several Group 1 races that take place at Sha Tin Racecourse every year and many punters want to get the latest Hong Kong Derby odds, with this race being held annually since 1873. This is run on a turf track over a distance of ten furlongs, with the race restricted to four-year-olds and there’s a purse of HK$18 million available. Rapper Dragon, Ping Hai Star and Furore are just some of the recent winners of a race which is very prestigious.
Queen Elizabeth II CupMany betting customers like to bet on the leading Hong Kong horse racing odds and races don’t come much bigger than the Queen Elizabeth II Cup. This is run every April over a distance of ten furlongs, with the race established in 1975 although the latter years have seen the event develop an international flavour, with Japanese horse Win Bright claiming a victory in 2019.
Champions MileThe Champions Mile forms part of the Asian Mile Challenge along with Dubai Duty Free Stakes, the Futurity Stakes and Yasuda Kinen. As the name suggests, this is run over a distance of one mile and the race was able to land international accreditation in 2007. A horse called Beauty Generation was able to land consecutive victories in 2018 and 2019 for trainer John Moore.
Hong Kong International RacesThis is arguably the biggest horse race meeting in the Hong Kong calendar, with the Hong Kong Cup, the Hong Kong Mile, and Hong Kong Sprint all appearing on the daily racecard. The former is the world’s richest turf race over 2000 metres, while the entire meeting gains plenty of attention from all over the world, with punters looking to place online horse racing bets across the card.
How to Bet on Hong Kong Racing
The Hong Kong Jockey Club currently control all horse racing in this country, with the non-profit organisation offering racing, sporting and better entertainment in HK. However, there are many offshore bookmakers who are able to offer customers the daily racecards and also betting odds on which to bet on a regular basis.
Therefore, there’s the option to bet on twelve-runner horse races in Hong Kong in a similar way that you could in the UK and Ireland. There’s the chance to place win-only and each-way wagers, while there is also the opportunity to bet place only with certain operators.
Some bookies will also offer HK racing odds where you can bet on a straight forecast or reverse forecast and that involves predicting the first two home. Alternatively, you can get on the tricast where you go for the first three horses home and the combination tricast is the chance to bet on them in any order.
Watch Live Streaming of Hong Kong Horse Racing
There are regularly daily racecards available for Sha Tin and Happy Valley, although several operators also offer customers the chance to enjoy live streaming of the action when it comes to horse racing in Hong Kong. Therefore, you can enjoy the complete experience which begins when you log into your favourite bookmaker and work out the best bets for the next race.
Once you have placed your bets, there is regularly the opportunity to click on the live streaming icon shortly before the off and you can then enjoy high quality streams which include following your horse from start to finish.
There’s often the chance to watch the horses in the parade ring before the off before you can see the entirety of the race and the majority of bookies will provide audio commentary so that you can enjoy the action.
Best Online Bookies for Hong Kong Horse Racing
Here at Racing-Odds.com, we only work with five star bookmakers and that means they will offer competitive prices when it comes to the daily Hong Kong races, whether the action is taking place at Happy Valley and Sha Tin. A good bookie will go up early with their prices for the races and offer competitive odds across the board.
We recommend having more than one bookmaker account as you can then compare the latest prices. There might also be an advantage to registering with a particular operator such as the chance to place a certain kind of bet along with accessing free live streaming of the action.
