Hong Kong’s racing industry has weathered many a storm, with the sport first battered by social unrest and then the coronavirus pandemic.

To ensure the fairness of the hk prize draw, employees from HKJC’s security and customer service departments will check and test all materials used for the draw on a regular basis, from boxing to transport. In addition, the balls used for the draw will be weighed and X-rayed on a regular basis. Furthermore, the drawing machine is locked and sealed after each draw. All the results will be verified and X-rayed before being released. To further enhance the transparency of the hk prize process, the results will be posted on the hk prize website and Facebook page. This will allow the public to know exactly who won the prize and how it was decided. The results will be officially declared on the hk prize website and Facebook on 25 November.
