Hong Kong Travels: An evening at the Happy Valley Racetracks

Wednesday, June 10th


We made it to Happy Valley Race Tracks on one of their last races before summer fully sets in here back on June 10th. It was our first real horse race together and our first in Hong Kong.


Our friend and my co-worker, Gorgeous Eddy, set a group of us up with an outdoor buffet dinner. It was a tad bit warm and humid to sit outdoors but it was great to be there with friends and great food! :-) We also got to celebrate Dan's birthday on this special occasion.

Ben and I placed about HK$100 each race (about US$15) on a horse that would win and another on a horse that would place. On 6 races, we lost 5 but came out almost even with the table bet winning big at the last race (thanks to Dan!).

Here are a few pics to remember the evening. Ben got to also practice taking action shots with his new camera:
