Grand national pursuit

As enthusiasm for thoroughbred racing grows across the country, Wuhan will host the fourth China Equine Cultural Festival this weekend. Wang Kaihao reports.

Teo Ah Khing, a Chinese-Malaysian architect, is helping to make something out of almost nothing in the Chinese mainland.

In 2013, when he staged the first China Equine Cultural Festival in Hohhot, capital of the Inner Mongolia autonomous region, attracting horse owners with 39 thoroughbreds to participate, there was a widespread misconception in China about thoroughbred racing.
