It's hugely popular in many countries, but in China the industry is still in its infancy. Mei Ling Young reports on efforts to develop the 'Sport of Kings'.

A group of well-heeled mavericks from China is poised to take the global racing world by storm. Led by Teo Ah Khing, the Malaysian-Chinese architect who designed the $1.6 billion Meydan Racecourse in Dubai, the China Horse Club shot from obscurity to worldwide fame in June when it won the coveted Epsom Derby with the prize thoroughbred, named Australia.

A combination of audacity, industry and acumen has won the support of key figures in the British racing establishment, including John Warren, bloodstock adviser to Queen Elizabeth II, and Coolmore Stud, Ireland's most successful stud farm.

China has no shortage of equestrian clubs. In 2010, there were an estimated 500 professional clubs, up from only 100 in 2008, according to figures collated by the China (Shanghai) International Horse Fair.

And with the world's highest concentration of billionaires, China doesn't want for financing, either. "What it lacks is know-how," Teo says.

"You can't just buy horses like Australia. You have to develop them, and that is why the breeding cycle is so fascinating-it's an intellectual tease. You can throw as much money and expertise at it as you like, but at the end of the day, it's the horse that has the last word. You can only improve your chances by tweaking the circumstances," Warren says.

Horse racing is an industry whose total economic impact in the UK alone was valued at 3.45 billion pounds ($5.59 billion) in 2013 by the British Horse Racing Authority. Worldwide, the rearing and racing of thoroughbreds has spawned a complex-and lucrative-economy of knowledge and expertise.

But China's underdeveloped infrastructure and regulatory framework have thus far excluded it from meaningful participation and representation on the international racing circuit.
