TAKEOVER TARGET - The Cathay Pacific Hong Kong Sprint - Sunday 10 December 2006

7 December 2006

It is a practice of The Hong Kong Jockey Club to obtain samples from overseas horses which are to participate in any of the Club's international races after the horse arrives in Hong Kong. From time to time these post-arrival samples show irregularities and when this occurs further samples are taken for analysis from the relevant horse leading up to the race.

Samples taken from TAKEOVER TARGET, subsequent to its arrival in Hong Kong, have shown an irregularity. Leading up to The Cathay Pacific Hong Kong Sprint to be run at Sha Tin on Sunday 10 December 2006, further samples will be taken from TAKEOVER TARGET for analysis by The Hong Kong Jockey Club Racing Laboratory.
