Did you know that the ideal grass height for a horse racing track is four inches? Kiki Lau, Senior Manager of Tracks (Turf) at The Hong Kong Jockey Club, along with a dedicated team of over a hundred professionals, works tirelessly to maintain this standard and ensure the racing tracks are in world-class condition.
How does a wetland in the bustling city of Hong Kong serve as a "hotel" for birds? For Nicole Wong, Chief Executive Officer of WWF-Hong Kong, the answer lies in the management and conservation efforts of the Mai Po Nature Reserve, which is supported by the Club. Likening herself to a dedicated hotel manager, Nicole is committed to providing the best possible conditions for the tens of thousands of migratory birds that visit each year, ensuring they have a welcoming place to rest and rejuvenate before continuing their journeys.
Joelle Wong, a Hong Kong Jockey Club Striding On Scholarship recipient diagnosed with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome from birth, initially thought her physical limitations would prevent her from engaging in sports. However, her discovery of table tennis dramatically changed her perspective, not only enabling her to enjoy sports but also paving the way for her to represent Hong Kong at international competitions.
