Although The Hong Kong Jockey Club pulled in around H$28bn (£2.4bn) last year, the non-profit is heavily taxed by the government – in fact it is the city’s single largest tax payer, contributing around seven per cent of all taxes collected – so is always on the look-out for ways to make money and attract new customers
One such scheme was a long-term project to create a “racing entertainment” area at the heart of the world famous Happy Valley ground, designed to attract a new generation of younger race fans who haven’t the time or inclination to study the form for hours on end. At its centre, is the Interactive Best for You (IBU) – the “world’s largest [and so far, only] multi-touch racing entertainment table”.
