Autolinks to HK Jockey Club Website

RaceMate will put hyperlinks to the multimedia resources of the HK Jockey Club Website into records of Race, Horse, Jockey, Stable and Track Work. If you are not interested in some of the links and would like to remove them from the record forms, you may deselect them here.

 

Connection Speed

If you are using a broadband Internet connection, you should choose [Broadband Connection] here to connect to the high quality multimedia video files of the HK Jockey Club. Otherwise, you should choose [56K Dial-Up Connection] to connect to a trimmed-down version of the files.
