The Hong Kong Jockey Club reminds all racegoers that special arrangements will be made for the race meeting today at the Sha Tin Racecourse as follows:

Apart from trainers, jockeys, Club officials and Stewards with governance duties, only horse owners with starters with advance table booking approved by the Club will be admitted to the racecourse. Anyone who has travelled overseas within 14 days before the race day will not be admitted. They are required to fill in a health declaration form <download here www.hkjc.com/hd> and receive temperature screening before entry. They are also required to wear surgical masks during the race meeting.

To comply with the government’s condition that group gatherings in the Parade Ring should not exceed four persons, only one designated owner representing each horse will be allowed to enter the Parade Ring with the trainer, jockey and assistant trainer of the horse concerned. Special arrangements will be implemented in the Parade Ring to ensure that there is at least 1.5 metres social distance between groups of people inside the Parade Ring. There will not be photo-taking for the winning horse and owners at the Winning Arch after each race. Besides, there will be no trophy presentation for the Group 2 Chairman’s Trophy and the Group 2 Sprint Cup.

Only Owners Box 3/F and Owners Box 6/F Section 2 in the Sha Tin Racecourse will be open today. The catering facilities in the racecourse will operate in full compliance with the requirements issued by the Secretary for Food and Health for the catering business. Each dining table will only accommodate not more than four guests and there will be at least a 1.5 metres distance between the tables.

There is no racecourse cross betting available. All betting facilities at the Sha Tin Clubhouse will not open. Besides, Grandstand II car park will be closed.
