talkSPORT 2 will bring you full exclusive commentary from the Sha Tin meeting in Hong Kong today.
As sport continues to be halted due to the coronavirus pandemic, we’ve headed far afield to bring you a much-needed fix of live action.
We’ll be at the Happy Valley racecourse in Hong Kong today for their meet behind closed doors and under the floodlights.
The jockeys are a mix of international riders and local riders who have qualified through the Hong Kong Jockey Club’s apprentice scheme.
Hong Kong has continued its racing schedule as most racing fans and punters in China follow the action on TV and mobile phones off-course anyway.
And now UK fans can enjoy it too.
Racing live on talkSPORT 2: How to listen
We will take in ALL 9 races on talkSPORT 2 today – at 11.45 BST, 12.15, 12.45, 1.15, 1.45, 2.15, 2.45, 3.15 and 3.50.
Dan Windle will be your host and will be joined by racing expert Lee McKenzie.
We’ll also have two race commentators in Hong Kong – Tom Wood and Mark McNamara.
All are typical Hong Kong handicap races (horses carrying different weights depending on their ability) and should be competitive with many close finishes.
The winning prize money is the equivalent of at least £40,000 for all races and the feature race is the Cedar Handicap at 3.50 BST over 1 mile 1 furlong, in which the winner takes over £100,000 – similar to one of the big handicap races at a top British meeting like Ascot or York.
All Hong Kong racing is on the flat so no jumps and races can change rapidly in the last 200 metres as the strong finishers begin to catch the front-runners.
