According to the Club's CEO Engelbrecht-Bresges, the upswing was a result of several factors, including a change in the way horse racing in Hong Kong is taxed, the club's rebate program for big-time punters, improved facilities for the betting public at both racecourses and several off- course betting centers, and the improvement in the economy.

The club is drawing up a master plan to make better use of the two racecourses on non racedays.
