Horse Racing

Anybody got any view, ideas or advice about going to the racing in Hong Kong?

A few guys and I are heading to Hong Kong and Macau for a few days in what will be a whirlwind gambling tour of depravity - we're celebrating the last days of life for a mate who is getting married.

I've looked at the racing calendar and it looks like it will be at Sha Tin for the day that we'll be there. We've heard that the races at Happy Valley are much more of a social event (kind of like we're used to in Sydney), whereas Sha Tin is more of a gambler's paradise designed for the locals.

Any words of wisdom.
