    <dc:creator>jnchapel</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["... time has stretched long since those optimistic days of more than a quarter of a century ago when the Hong Kong Jockey Club seemed to be proactive in dismantling gender barriers for female riders. Strides were made at a rapid rate in an all too short time, only to be reduced to an inch here and less there. Just like Northern Fire Ball, the club has not accelerated its advance as it might have: there has been little appetite to licence female jockeys despite adjustments since the turn-of-the-century as to how women are perceived and accepted in sport and society, in Hong Kong and in the west. Whether or not that is about to change lies in the decisions of its Licensing Committee. Just one adjustment would do it."]]></description>

Already the amount bet on racing fell 1.7 percent in the latest season for which numbers are available, ending mid-July 2016, from the previous year. While it’s still a lot of money — that HK$106.1 billion ($13.6 billion) was almost 30 percent more than the total of the most-common type of betting on thoroughbreds in all of the U.S . —  gambling on horse racing has grown an anemic 1 percent a year on average for two decades."]]></description>

    <dc:creator>jnchapel</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["Instead of providing a world championship the various regional championships have become just that. High-value end-of-season cards for the best local talent and a handful of token internationals ... with valuable Breeders' Cup-style meetings now in every corner of the globe there is less incentive to risk travelling the best horses. The obvious option for connections of the best in each region at the end of the year is to pick up huge prize-money for beating the same horses they've been beating all season."]]></description>

    <dc:creator>jnchapel</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["Nevertheless, the only way to have a true world championship meeting would be to have it in a different jurisdiction each year - one year in Hong Kong, the next Dubai, then Australia, the United States, France, Japan, the United Kingdom, and so on. Something like the Breeders' Cup switching tracks each year (even if five of the last seven were held at Santa Anita, with the last two at Churchill Downs, but that's beside the point). In fact, the Breeders' Cup called for bids from overseas tracks in 2007 in an attempt to turn it into a true global event, but that fizzled out quickly. Still, there's hope that it could happen in the future, right?" Unlikely, for several reasons.]]></description>

A meeting was lost for the first time in five years to Typhoon Usagi in September but it was comfortably accommodated elsewhere in a season with strong attendance and even stronger turnover that pushed through HK$100 billion for the first time and parked at HK$101.838 billion when the dust settled. The sporting side was memorable on every level."]]></description>

    <dc:creator>jnchapel</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["In the end though, all these differences come back to one simple fact -- the lack of racing in Hong Kong. The success comes back to wagering, and with only two race meetings a week and limited opportunities to bet elsewhere or on other sports (apart from football), every race is a golden opportunity. Every Hong Kong race is a valuable commodity."]]></description>

There are probably many others we haven't heard about, but they share one very obvious problem. Until China approves gambling on horse racing on the mainland, which is not on any radar yet, there is no commercial imperative to make these things happen the right way - and there must be doubts about the backers of some of these projects even being capable of that."]]></description>
