As we welcome the Chinese New Year of the Horse, we are proud to celebrate a significant milestone for MGG: 10 years of our Bloodstock Insurance Division protecting champions at the highest level of the sport.
Over the past decade, we have built a reputation as Hong Kong’s leading bloodstock insurance broker and a trusted partner to the Hong Kong Racehorse Owners Association. It has been a privilege to support our clients in safeguarding some of the world’s most elite thoroughbreds, including multiple Group 1 winners, Hong Kong Derby champions, and even two of the world’s top-rated sprinters.
A Decade Defined by Innovation and Commitment
Our journey has been shaped by a simple focus: delivering exceptional expertise and tailored protection to horse owners.
We were the first insurance broker to provide coverage for horses in training at the Hong Kong Jockey Club’s Conghua Training Centre, demonstrating our commitment to evolving with the needs of our clients and the industry.
Today, our reach is truly global. We provide comprehensive insurance solutions for stallions, mares, and young stock worldwide, supporting Hong Kong Jockey Club members wherever their bloodstock interests take them.
