Today's Hong Kong Sha Tin Horse Racing Picks

Bobble/Stumble

A slip or a duck from a horse trying to leave the starting gates, often caused by the surface giving way under the feet. This can range from a mild misstep to a stumble down to their knees.

Scratch

A horse is a scratch when injury or other necessity causes it to be withdrawn from the race.

Synthetic Surface

A racing surface comprised of silica sand and fibers, such as recycled carpet or spandex. The mixture is then sealed with wax.
