Race days and dress codes in Hong Kong

Dates to be announced

The club has not published the date yet. Each moves onto the calendar when it does.

• a Sunday in mid to late March

  BMW Hong Kong Derby

  Sha Tin Racecourse, Hong Kong

  The race every Hong Kong owner wants; owners' boxes and the parade ring are at their smartest.

• third day of the Lunar New Year (late January to mid February)

  Chinese New Year Raceday

  Sha Tin Racecourse, Hong Kong

  The best-attended day of the Hong Kong season; a family festival crowd in red and gold rather than a racewear day.

• last Sunday in April

  FWD Champions Day

  Sha Tin Racecourse, Hong Kong

  Hong Kong's spring Group 1 day; smart in the boxes, casual in the public stands.

• most Wednesday nights from September to July

  Happy Wednesday (Happy Valley night racing)

  Happy Valley Racecourse, Hong Kong

  After-work night racing with a beer garden and themed party nights; come straight from the office.

• second Sunday in December

  LONGINES Hong Kong International Races

  Sha Tin Racecourse, Hong Kong

  Hong Kong's showpiece: four international Group 1s, a Longines-sponsored crowd, and the one day when hats and fascinators are common in the members' areas and boxes.

• a Sunday in early November (2026: Sunday 8 November)

  Sa Sa Ladies' Purse Day

  Sha Tin Racecourse, Hong Kong

  Hong Kong's fashion race day: women dress in pink, with fascinators and statement hats, and there is a Best Dressed Award.
