On the day of the race, the shatin stadium not only staged 10 wonderful races, but also launched a number of celebration programmes and interactive sessions, creating a virulent holiday atmosphere. The audience not only appreciated the great event, but also participated in a variety of celebrations and interactive programmes and felt the joy of returning to the celebration and the multiculturalism of hong kong. Acclaimed by the audience, the “hong kong's return race day” was not only a sporting event, but also one of the most important events in hong kong's society to celebrate returns together. It highlights the broad appeal of the horse racing movement as the unique cultural symbol of hong kong, while at the same time signalling that hong kong remains uniquely attractive and dynamic under the “one country, two systems”。
