Sha Tin Racecourse

Sha Tin Racecourse, Horse racing stadium in Sha Tin District, Hong Kong.

Sha Tin Racecourse is a horse racing stadium located in a district east of central Hong Kong, designed as a large sporting complex for competitions. The venue features multiple grandstands, stables for hundreds of horses, and specialized facilities including a veterinary hospital and training areas.

The Hong Kong Jockey Club began planning a second racecourse in 1964, and construction started in 1973 on 250 acres of land reclaimed from Sha Tin Hoi, using 16 million tonnes of fill from four levelled hills. The course opened on 7 October 1978, when Governor Murray MacLehose cut a ribbon on the grass track and the first race was won by Ho Shuang. A second grandstand opened in 1985, bringing capacity to 85,000.

The infield holds Penfold Park, named after Jockey Club steward Sir David Penfold, and the paddock's retractable roof opens or closes in about seven minutes. The Fan Zone displays handprints of local and international horsemen, and the public stand charges HK$10, free for visitors with overseas travel documents.

The racecourse is easily accessible by public transport, with direct rail and bus connections to the site. Visitor access depends on race day schedules, which vary throughout the year depending on the racing calendar.

A public park with green spaces sits inside the center of the racing track, open to visitors on non-race days. This combination of sporting venue and recreational space gives the place an unusual dual identity.
