1. Ripping of large all weather track

The large all weather track was ripped today to a depth of 5 1/2″ to relieve surface hardness as well as to achieve thorough mixing of 140 cubic metres of bark chip applied on 19 September 2017. The track will be expected to ride similar to the meeting on 16 September 2017, weather permitting.

2. Verti-drain on Sha Tin turf track

The verti-drain was used on the Sha Tin turf track to alleviate surface hardness according to the following schedules:

04 – 11 September A to C Course 
17 – 19 September C+3 Course and the remaining area

On completion of the works, the areas were lightly rolled as per previous practice.
