| Selection for
each of the Cathay Pacific Hong Kong International
Races (CXHKIR) will be carried out through
the following process: |
| 1.
|
 The
International Panel of Senior Handicappers
and Racing Officials will rank all overseas
horses that have been nominated or supplemented
for each of the CXHKIR. The Panel will advise
the HKJC of their recommendations for selections
and if necessary, reserves, in both national
and international rank order, paying particular
attention to each horse's past performances
over the specific distances of each race.
|
| 2. |
The HKJC, following advice
from the Panel, has the sole authority and
discretion in determining the line-up of
each of the four races, and the decision
of the HKJC shall be final. |
| 3.
|
Each race is limited
to 14 starters, with a maximum of 10 starters
selected from the international entries. |
| 4. |
Selection of Hong Kong
entries will be decided at the sole discretion
of a Selection Panel comprising of the
Executive Director of Racing, Head of
Handicapping and the Manager, International
Races, Sales & Development of the
HKJC. Hong Kong horses would be expected
to have performed satisfactorily at Group
level.
|
| 5. |
The HKJC has, as a selection priority,
the overall quality of the fields for
each race. The HKJC reserves the right,
and has the sole authority to decide on
the number of runners of each race, after
careful consideration of any entry's overall
standing and potential to perform adequately
in its nominated race. Therefore any entry,
whether national or international, is
not guaranteed selection even if the selections
are less than the maximum 14 starters
for that particular race.
