A lot of good drivers (and horses) raced in Macau. The track opened in September of 1980 and good drivers from Australia, New Zealand and the U.S. spent time there as the purse money was good, as was the attendance and publicity. They imported over 500 good horses from Australia and New Zealand. Muhammed Ali, Cary Grant and Gregory Peck attended one of their feature races in 1981 (won't see that here!).
