Horse racing has a long history in both France and Hong Kong. The Hong Kong Jockey Club is supporting both the G3 Prix Gontaut-Biron Hong Kong Jockey Club and the Prix Hong Kong Jockey Club (to be held on Tuesday, 15 August) at Deauville in August. The events reflect the strong links between France Galop and The Hong Kong Jockey Club, both of which play an important role in promoting global horse racing development.
