Default HK isnt bulletproof either

For all the talk about how racing is dying and a failed sport and how it is wrong for casinos to "subsidize" racing, here is an example of a place that does everything right and yet is getting hurt badly by casinos.

"The club, which gives all its profits to charities and community projects, holds horse races on two tracks, takes bets on international soccer matches and overseas horse races and runs a lottery."

Interesting how American tracks get blasted for wanting other forms of wagering yet it isnt much different than HK which many hold as a model track here.
