| The British introduced horse racing to Hong Kong soon after their arrival in 1841. Before long the decision was made to create a permanent racecourse out of the malarial swamp of Wong Nai Chung on the north side of the island. Now familiar to racing fans worldwide as Happy Valley, the racecourse held its first recorded meeting in 1846. |
