OVERVIEW
The Hong Kong Jockey Club is one of the largest racing organisations in the world. Apart from being Hong Kong's only authorised operator of horse racing, it also operates
the Mark Six lottery and under Government authority offers betting on football matches held outside Hong Kong.
The Club is the largest single taxpayer in Hong Kong and its not-for-profit business model, whereby its surplus goes to charity is
admired worldwide. Over the past decade, the Club has donated an average of one billion Hong Kong dollars every year to hundreds of charities and community projects, ranking alongside organisations such as the Rockefeller Foundation as one of the biggest
charity donors in the world.
