| New Racing Season Greetings from Mr Thomas Li, Executive Director & Chief Executive Officer of MJC |
Greeting to all our horse owners, trainers, jockeys and customers. The racing season 2018/2019 has been tough and full of challenges. However, we persisted through with minimal incidents, largely due to your support.
In this coming season of 2019/2020, we remain very committed with the requirements mandated by Macau SAR Government when our operating lease was renewed last year for more than 24 years. We are on time with the Government stipulated schedule, in terms upgrade in facilities for Stables and Tracks. Stables block 4 to 7 renovation has been completed, Stables 9 will finish at the end September, Stables 8 will finish at the end of 2019. Providing horses with better living environments.
On the same note, we have been adding thousand of tons of newly improved mixture sands onto the sand tracks, there will be 2000 tons more of sands to be added over the coming weeks. This refurbishment will improve safety and well being of the horses feet. It also goes without saying that jockeys, track riders and staff safety is our main priority and we are always on our toes in providing high standard facilities.
This year we have year long celebration for Macau Jockey Club 30 years anniversary and we have few attractive reward and incentive to share and offer:
(1) We will continue to conduct online auction for Australia and New Zealand breeze up sales in the coming months, providing hassle free buying opportunity of young horses for our members.
(2) We will also continue with freight subsidy in the new season to strengthen our horse population. Details please contact International Affairs Department.
(3) In this new season, we will introduce Horse of the Year award, the methodology of calculation will be available on the MJC homepage.
(4) We are pleased to announce that there will be an increase in prize money for bread and butter races between 11% to 12%.
Lastly, please join me to welcome 2 new trainers, both carry very credible CV and experience, they are none other than former Irish jockey Mr Wayne Smith and Mr Nicholas Moore, grandson of racing legend George Moore and son of Champion trainer Gary Moore.
Once again I hope we can work together and scale new heights in the new season.
