Horse Race Watching Party

Invitation

The long-awaited Horse Race Watching Party is here!

Date: June 1 (Wednesday)
Time: 7pm
Place: Home Straight (Members Box E307), Happy Valley Racecourse (http://member.hkjc.com/en/rcs/fp_e307.asp)
Activities: Dinner, horse race watching, horse-betting (optional)
Cost: $200 minimum per person, total cost depends on what food you order (2-course starting at $288 and 3-course starting at $310, drinks extra), optional bet money additional at your own discretion

The members boxes are not open to the public. So this is a good chance for us to visit the privileged part of the racecourse.

We will treat the 3rd last race as unofficial “Hong Kong Texas Exes Cup”. Participants may bet on the participating horse without any money. The sole winner will receive a piece of Longhorn merchandise as prize from HKTX. If there is more than one winner, lots will be drawn to decide who receives the prize. Details will be available on the event date.

We have a table booked and seats are limited. Priority is given to paid members, other alumni and guests (maximum one per member) are on a first-pay-first served basis.

Deposits are required due to the venue’s requirement. If you want to join, please deposit $200 (or $210 by credit card) per person before May 29 into one of the following accounts and write to us at hongkong@alumni.utexas.net about your deposit:
