East Asia and the Kentucky Derby
In China, horse racing is still restricted. However, Hong Kong has a very well-established and well capitalized equestrian industry.

Blood-Horse keeps a close eye on developments in Japan, Australia and the Asia-Pacific. It is little question that East Asian fans and breeders will loom large in future of the sport. This article is part of a series on the links between the U.S. state of Kentucky and Asia.
