| Abstract | The Hong Kong Jockey Club faces an intersting conundrum: it is a US$10 billion "company", with revenue almost entirely derived from gambling, about to become part of a sovereign country which not only outlaws gambling but also regards it as tantamount to a deadly sin. The 113-year-old club in charge of the world's most lucrative and presitigious horse-racing franchise will need all its agility and fleet-footedness to ensure that its much-prized hegemony over Hong Kong's racing and betting remains unscathed. |
