The Hong Kong Jockey Club has urged the city to position the Greater Bay Area as a leading equine hub under its first five-year plan, proposing the formation of a distinctive racing circuit for both mainland Chinese and international tourists.In a submission to the government on Thursday, the club said the equine industry had already been identified as a strategic economic driver under national planning frameworks.“Hong Kong therefore has an opportunity to play a leading role in helping to develop a world-class equine industry ecosystem across the GBA [Greater Bay Area] and beyond,” it said, referring to Beijing’s initiative to link Hong Kong, Macau and nine Guangdong cities into an integrated economic and business hub.
