MASTER CRISTO - Race 8 (369) 2 February 2008 Sha Tin Race Meeting

31 January 2008

In accordance with usual practice, all horses declared to run at the Sha Tin race meeting to be held this Saturday, 2 February 2008, were required to be weighed this afternoon. MASTER CRISTO, a declared runner in Race 8, The Hong Kong University Alumni Association Challenge Cup, was very fractious when presented at the scale to be weighed. Despite spending considerable time and effort on MASTER CRISTO, the horse was not able to be weighed. In the circumstances the Stewards have given permission for MASTER CRISTO to be exempted from pre-race weighing on this occasion. Mr T K Ng, trainer of MASTER CRISTO, which also proved difficult to weigh prior to its only previous race in Hong Kong, will be told to take measures to improve the horse's behaviour at the scale.


CLASSIC HORSE - Race 1 (362) 2 February 2008 Sha Tin Race Meeting

1 February 2008

This morning during track work CLASSIC HORSE, a declared runner in Race 1, the Hatton Handicap, to be run at Sha Tin tomorrow, dislodged its rider and completed four laps of the small All Weather Track before being recaptured. Subsequently CLASSIC HORSE was examined by the Head of Veterinary Regulation & International Liaison, Dr B D Stewart, at the stables of Trainer T W Leung. Dr Stewart said in his opinion CLASSIC HORSE was suitable to race tomorrow. Mr Leung advised the Stewards he did not believe CLASSIC HORSE was displaying any adverse effects following this morning's incident.

CLASSIC HORSE will again be examined by the Head of Veterinary Regulation & International Liaison tomorrow morning.

HKJC donates to relief funds on mainland China 5 Feb 2008

Hong Kong Jockey Club

HKJC donates HK$10m to help snowstorm-affected people on the Mainland; also calls on public to donate lai see and pledges matching amount

The Hong Kong Jockey Club announced today (5 February) that it will make an immediate emergency donation of HK$10 million to the Hong Kong Red Cross China Relief Fund, in response to the snowstorms on the Mainland which have now affected more than 100 million people.

The Club will also organise a fund raising drive, Action Red Packets, from 8 to 12 February, calling on the public to donate the lai see money they receive over Chinese New Year. Collection boxes will be set up at the Club's 107 Off-Course Betting Branches, three clubhouses and two racecourses (on CNY raceday only), as well as the Headquarters building at Happy Valley.

Club Chairman Mr John C C Chan said that along with other Hong Kong people, the Club was deeply concerned about the situation of the 100 million or more people across 20 Mainland provinces who were suffering the effects of the snowstorms. "We hope that our emergency donation can help relieve about 200,000 victims in the 10 most severely hit provinces and provide them with food, warm clothing, quilts and emergency supplies," he said. The provinces and municipalities involved are Hunan, Hubei, Guizhou, Anhui, Jiangxi, Guangxi, Sichuan, Chongqing, Yunnan and Xinjiang.

"We hope that our fund raising drive can likewise bring relief to those affected at this difficult time, as well as demonstrating the close relationship and supportive spirit of Hong Kong people to their Mainland compatriots," Mr Chan added.

"To promote active public participation, the Club will double the amount contributed by making a matching donation for every single dollar collected from the public, racing fans and Club staff, up to a maximum matching donation of HK$20 million," he pledged.

All funds raised by the Club, together with its matching donation, will be donated to help snowstorm-affected people on the Mainland.
