Ripping of Large All Weather Track

The Large All Weather Track was ripped today to a depth of 5 1/2” to relieve surface compaction, i.e. hardness. Weather permitting, the track is expected to run on a "Good" going condition for Sunday 23 September meeting.

After conducting statistical research of Marco Chui’s riding records from the 2006-2007 season, the Club has decided to reallocate the apprentice jockey to trainer Tony Cruz. The research showed that Chui’s services were used by a total of 20 trainers, yet Cruz provided Chui with half of his 24 wins last season and accounted for more than half of his earnings.

The apprentice riding school has a mission of providing young people with a rare opportunity to develop as highly competent jockeys and good citizens. The Club takes great pride in the program and in its record of success. Several trainers expressed interest in acquiring Chui when his services became available, a solid indication of the success of the Club’s apprentice program development.

The Club, however, did take disciplinary action for his failure to attend afternoon stable sessions when Chui was allocated to trainer David Ferraris. He was suspended for three race meetings and the Club will continue to monitor his conduct throughout the season. In addition, the apprentice school will specifically design a program to provide the proper platform for Chui’s personal and professional growth.

見習騎師徐君禮
調往告東尼馬房

馬會對見習騎師徐君禮在 2006/07 年度馬季的策騎紀錄作出統計後，決定把他調往告東尼馬房。統計數字顯示，徐君禮上季曾替二十位練馬師效力，而他所勝出的二十四場頭馬，其中半數均來自告東尼馬房，而這些坐騎所贏的獎金，佔其全部獎金超過一半。

見習騎師學校有一個使命，就是為年輕人提供寶貴的學習機會，栽培他們成為傑出騎師及良好公民。馬會對此項見習騎師訓練計劃及其所取得優異成績感到自豪。 幾位練馬師於獲悉徐君禮將被調往其他馬房時，都紛紛表示有意把他羅致旗下，可見馬會見習騎師發展計劃辦得十分成功。對於徐君禮隸屬練馬師霍利時期間，曾數度未有於下午返回馬房值勤一事，馬會已對他作出紀律處分，判罰其停賽三個賽馬日，並會繼續監察他在季內的行為表現。此外，見習騎師學校將會為徐君禮制訂特別課程，藉以教導他正確的個人態度及事業發展方向。
