At The Races partners up with Hong Kong Jockey Club

UK and Ireland pay-television channel At The Races has acquired exclusive non-terrestrial rights to Hong Kong horse racing through to July 2022.

At The Races, which is set to transform into Sky Sports Racing by January 1, agreed the deal with the Hong Kong Jockey Club, which has overseen racing in the territory since 1884.

George Irvine, commingling development director at HKJC, said: “ATR and Sky Sports have significant fan bases already across TV and digital channels and we will work with them not just on live race coverage but on a weekly, dedicated preview programme to showcase Hong Kong racing.”
