The Hong Kong Jockey Club



The Hong Kong Jockey Club is famouse because it promoted horseracing in Hong Kong where people could bet money to make money.  It was founded in 1884.  Later the name was changed to The Royal Hong Kong Jockey Club but then it went back to the original name in 1996.  The club has been around a long time making it a historic place.  Only people with some money belonged to The Hong Kong Jockey Club or any club.

During the WWII, the amount of Chinese members went down because of the economy. The Hong Kong Jockey Club has been on of the biggest tax payers to Hong Kong. Since then the Hong Kong Jockey Club has donated lots of money to lots of different charities and schools.
