Badges and Car Park Labels

For Owners whose horse is in training

Each Owner whose horse is in training is issued with a seasonal car park label allowing access to the Grandstand II car park and the Multi-Level car park at Sha Tin. Distribution of Owner's badge(s) and car park label(s) are as follows:

*Syndicates who have been Owners since the 2000/2001 season will continue to enjoy their existing race day privileges so long as they have, on a continuous basis, at least one horse in training or been granted an import permit.

Sole Owners can now enjoy enhanced parking privileges when attending a Sha Tin race meeting. In addition to their normal car park labels, a total of 23 electronic QR codes (for Sha Tin race meetings only) in the entire season will be issued to each sole Owner, and 46 electronic QR codes to each Sole Owner with two or three horses in training. Separate electronic QR code will be sent each month to Sole Owners for their guests to park at the Sha Tin Grandstand II car park (Non-Owners area). These parking electronic QR codes are not valid on major racedays, as published by the Club.

For Owners whose horse dies or is retired

Any Owner whose horse dies or is retired during the season may retain the Owner's badge(s) for the balance of the season in which his/her horse is retired plus the ensuing season. However, such Owner may retain the car park label(s) only for the balance of the season in which his/her horse is retired. Once an Owner sells his/her horse, he/she will lose his/her entitlement to Owner's badge(s) and car park label(s).
