INGLIS CLOSES ON A HIGH US ARMY RANGER IN The Inglis Australian Broodmare and Weanling Sale wrapped RANGE AT CHESTER up its best renewal in six years with the sale topper on its final day Wednesday, when the blue-blooded filly Comaneci (Aus) (High Chaparral {Ire}) from the Segenhoe Stud consignment was hammered down to James Harron Bloodstock for A$780,000. The 4-year-old (lot 700), carrying her first foal by Fastnet Rock (Aus), is out of the G1 Australian Oaks winner Circles Of Gold (Aus) (Marscay {Aus}), and therefore a half-sister to Group 1 winners and sires Elvstroem (Aus) (Danehill) and Haradasun (Aus) (Fusaichi Pegasus), as well as the dam of current globe- trotting Group 1 winner (Ire) ( {Ire}). The overall turnover for the sale was in excess of A$34.5 million, the highest in six years, with an overall clearance rate of 87%. The select broodmare portion of the sale saw 481 sold for A$29,445,150, compared to 389 sold for A$17,813 last year, when there were 50 fewer catalogued. The buyback rate dropped to 13.6% from 24.5%; the average rose 33.7% to A$61,217, and the median was up 47.1% to A$25,000.

If you LC: It is indeed a very unique organisation, the Hong Kong Jockey walk around Hong Kong, you can=t miss the contributions of the Club. You can think of the Club as three key pillars: 1) the racing Jockey Club to the community. The Ocean Park in Hong Kong was donated by the Club, the University of Science and and wagering side of the business. Most people--globally--have a Technology, the Academy of Performing Arts, etc. In the 1960s, sense that it is a world-class operation; 2) we have one of Asia=s there was a big influx of immigrants from the mainland and our most prestigious memberships. We have about 14,000 members, medical facilities were not catching up at the time. So a lot of the all influential people in Hong Kong in a way, so that is the community clinic and even hospitals were donated by the Jockey membership side; and 3) the philanthropic side through the Club at the time. In the question of social fabric, I think we have vehicle of the Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust. If you think always wanted to come in when the community need it. about the scale of this philanthropic effort, we donated almost US$500 million last year and the year before. Globally, we rank, The annual report for the Hong Kong Jockey Club for the 2014- among non-government foundations in terms of annual giving, 2015 season may be downloaded here.

LC: Sure. Of course, this is all an estimate. It=s a little hard to count every beneficiary, because we are a foundation. But we estimate that, through all that we do, we are able to touch at least 75% of the population.

TDN: What are the criteria involved in determining what projects get funded? How does the Club decide which programs get supported and to what extent?

LC: As I said earlier, we donate to those 10 areas, and I think the ultimate goal through these donations is to create social impact. Generally, we do two types of projects, if you will. Say an NGO comes in for an application with a particular set of issues that they=d like to solve or like to help.
