Horse racing is watched with passion worldwide. Sky Travel can take you there.

Dubai World Cup

Fancy a flutter? Forget the Grand National, why not go to the richest horse race in the world! The Dubai World Cup has been held annually since 1996 and has established itself as the most high profile event on the worldwide racing calendar attracting visitors and gamblers from all over the globe.

With the top race offering a staggering US$6 million prize fund, it’s no surprise that the world’s best trainers, jockeys and horses make the trip annually to Dubai.

Why not combine a trip to the races with a stay on the beach and a touch of world class shopping? You could also combine it with a stay in Sri Lanka, the Maldives or Mauritius!

Hong Kong – Happy Valley

Horse racing is the main recreational passion in Hong Kong and the only legal form of gambling outside the local lottery. It feels like the whole of Hong Kong participates in these events and the night races at Happy Valley Racetrack cause particular excitement with the crazy atmosphere, bright lights and huge prizes!

Hong Kong’s favourite sport is making money and billions are spent at this green oasis in the middle of the city. Even novices will enjoy the thrills and the atmosphere from this world famous racecourse.

The racing season runs from September to June when Happy Valley Racecourse is crammed with locals and tourists all sharing an unbridled passion! On race days the track buzzes from the heart on Hong Kong Island and on one single nights betting the track can often take the equivalent to a whole years betting on racecourses in the West.

Come and experience a night at Happy Valley and see what all the fuss is about. You may like to combine your trip to the races with a break in the city, a trip to Sanya or even a stopover in Dubai on your way home?
