Sunday's HK$200 million year-on-year increase in turnover for the Panasonic Cup meeting was yet another in a series of towering rises this season, as the juggernaut momentum of recent years rolls on.
It wasn't so long ago that executive director of racing Bill Nader was proudly forecasting about a season featuring 10 HK$1 billion turnover days.
Last year, that figure was breached 33 times in 83 meetings and already this term, the billion mark in pari-mutuel handle has been topped at seven of the 18 meetings.
There seems nothing to even apply the brakes to the turnover and Jockey Club officials would have a serious case of face ache but for what must, in the light of those results, be a somewhat difficult negotiation with the government regarding tax changes or commingling. Still, there are worse problems to have.
What has been noticeable more recently, though, is that crowd figures have also been climbing, which was not the case in the early years of the restructuring, and rebates that turned around the Titanic of betting turnover just when it seemed headed for the iceberg.
That is a positive for many other reasons - club officials believe it has resulted from investment in facilities and thereby justifies the big budgets already outlined for the next few years.
But there is an undercurrent to it that should put on notice the clubs and organisations, which are long-term holders of racecourse boxes and form one of the backbone traditions of going racing here.
