“"For Winfried Engelbrecht-Bresges, the Hong Kong Jockey Club's cheif executive officer, what goes on at Happy Valley is a perfect reflection of Hong King itself, a love it or hate it city that oozes highly compressed intensity. 'Racing is competitive, success-oriented, and about money", he says, ticking off the stark similarities. To succeed at the horse game and in Hong Kong generally, he adds, "You have to be fast, you cannot be lazy, you have to work. Speed, compeition and money - those are the things that Hong Kong is all about."”
