The changes, dates and details for the Turf Trials and All Weather Trials for Hong Kong and Conghua Racecourse from November 2018 to June 2019 are as follows:
· Due to the repairing and renovation programs scheduled in April 2019 to assist the preparation of the Champion’s Day and the recovery of summer grass on turf track in May 2019, the monthly turf trials will not be arranged at the Sha Tin Turf Track in April & May 2019.
· As such, a Happy Valley Turf Trial will be provided on Saturday 6 April and a Sha Tin Griffin Trial is scheduled on Tuesday 9 April 2019 respectively. Also, there will not be any Griffin Trials scheduled at the Sha Tin course in May & June 2019 for course maintenance consideration.
· Whenever a CRC Trial date is arranged on a Friday, Sha Tin AWT Trials will be scheduled on the preceding Thursdays after the completion of jumpouts & stall tests at the 1800M Chute. If the Thursday falls on a public holiday or raceday, alternate AWT Trials will not be provided at Sha Tin.
