Home Straight, c. 1980s
A field of 10 runners is seen jockeying for position into the last 50 to 100 metres of the race. The rigid wall of windows of the surrounding concrete buildings set off nicely the action on the grass track. Spectators in the infield were crooning their necks to see the race. Facilities like the spotting tower, light poles, the starting gate and vehicles show that the Jockey Club had come a long way in the progress and development of racing in Hong Kong.
