was the horse racing related to Jockey Club Road, a road linking Sheung Shui and Fanling? What happened at that time?

There was a course managed by the Fanling Hunt & Race Club if you check The Straits Times, 1 November 1930, Page 17 as following “Steeplechasing”:

Is this course related to two photos or Jockey Club Road?

Two photos with a Hong Kong Jockey Club enamelled bar brooch come from an auction house in England.
