The Hong Kong Jockey Club international sale has been postponed for the second time due to the covid-19 situation.
The sale was postponed from its original date pre-Hong Kong Derby and rescheduled for May 8 however, Jockey Club director of racing business and operations Bill Nader told The South China Morning Post a more likely date is May 28.
“We moved it to May 8, then with the way things are going we are moving it again,” Nader said.
“The plan would be to not make it a big show like we normally do, it would be low key and to the minimum with no frills.
“There are 16 lots which are here from the northern hemisphere, they have been here with us for a while.
“The horses from Australia and New Zealand can’t get in at the moment so they have been pushed back to the second sale which is tentatively set for July 3, but again that is touch and go. That is our target at this point and as we get closer, it will firm up.”
