Horse racing is back on the Chinese mainland after almost 60 years.

The Testing Event of China Speed Horse Race Open in Wuhan on Saturday was a step toward legalizing horse race betting, even though technically speaking nobody placed a bet on the horses.

Spectators were allowed to place free bets on two of the four races at the Orient Lucky City Racecourse, and those who won were given 20 instant scratch-off tickets by the local sports lottery administration.
