HV / Kyoto were class.
I spent a LOT of money in the gift shop at Kyoto. It was a very smart / modern course. The architecture reminded me a bit of Ascot. Crowd were polite / engaged. Nobody that I could see staggering about drunk like you see in the UK.
The night I went to HV there seemed to be an Oktoberfest theme. Very cheap to get in. Large betting turnover on the night. Good atmosphere racing under lights. The winning horses would do a “lap of honour” past the stands. You were so close to the rail you could just about touch the jockey’s hand when they passed.
Hoping to go to Seoul next year.
