With the exception of the war years in the 20th Century, it has been an annual social and sporting highlight ever since. The race is the most prestigious local event in Hong Kong racing and offers once-in-a-lifetime glory to each winner. Since 1981, the Hong Kong Derby has been exclusive to four-year-old horses and is the race that often determines that generation’s outstanding champion. The race was established, as with all Derbys around the world, in the tradition of the original Derby, first staged at Epsom, England in 1780. The Hong Kong Derby is today the second most lucrative of all the world’s Derbys and this year’s (2019) edition offers total prize money of HK$18 million, compared to a purse of HK$30,000 when Hong Kong racing’s professional era commenced in the 1971/72 season.
