The Hong Kong Jockey Club (HKJC) is one of the oldest institutions in Hong Kong, having been founded in 1884. It is a non-profit organisation providing horse racing, sporting and betting entertainment in Hong Kong. It remains the largest taxpayer in Hong Kong, as well as the largest community benefactor.
