The Sha Tin track, opened in the New Territories in 1978 and built on the revenue raised from newly introduced night-racing at Happy Valley, hosted Hong Kong's first international race meeting, the Hong Kong Invitation Cup, on 24 January, 1988.

Sha Tin, with a total trackside capacity of over 85,000 now provides the venue for several world renowned races, including The Hong Kong Cup, The Hong Kong Mile, The Hong Kong Vase, and The Hong Kong Sprint. Surrounding the public 'Penfold Park', Sha Tin is mainly used for daytime race meetings and has its own dedicated railway station (appropriately named 'Racecourse'), although it is only a short walk from Fo Tan KCR5 Station. On race days, it is impossible not to know which way to go.
