06/01/2015

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 and to achieve thorough mixing of 60 cubic metre of bark chip applied on 2 January 2015.  The track will be expected to ride similar to the meeting on 4 January 2015 after it had been ripped on 30 December 2014.

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:

15 Dec – 2 Jan

A to C Course

5 – 6 Jan

C+3 Course and the remaining area

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