The NHA further advises that the Racing Operator has multiple international and local commitments and has requested that we try, as far as possible, to ensure that the race times are adhered to.
For example, Hong Kong Territory will be participating from Races 4 to 10 and obviously there are other broadcasting obligations that need to be met. The Board, together with other race day Officials will try to ensure that all of the requests are adhered to, whilst not compromising the local public.
Certain strategic procedures will be implemented in order to achieve the above.
