The Hong Kong Jockey Club announced on Wednesday that trainers Jamie Richards and Pierre Ng will be allocated stables at Conghua Racecourse (Mainland China) in the latest implementation phase of its dual-site operation.
Richards and Ng will start their dual-site training operations effective from 1 June, 2023 and will be able to move horses from Sha Tin to Conghua accordingly.
Meanwhile, trainer Me Tsui will cease dual-site operations from 1 June, 2023, continuing to train only at Sha Tin.
Hong Kong trainers based solely at Sha Tin have a stable cap of 60 horses, however, dual-site operations can reach a maximum of 70.
Richards and Ng have both made a terrific first impression in their debut season training in Hong Kong, with Kiwi expat Richards with 30 wins to his name, while Ng, son of former trainer Peter Ng, has amassed 32.
