A beautiful Jockey Club environment and my car
The Racing Laboratory is located on the 6/F of the Central Complex.
In the beginning, Dr. Wan, Chief Racing Chemist, introduced the history of the Racing Laboratory. The laboratory was established in 1970 (39yr) and have achieved HOKLAS accreditation since 1992. There are about 45 similar racing laboratories in the world. The Laboratory has 43 staffs. Among of them, more than 30 staffs are degree holders, including 7 staffs with doctor degree and 7 staffs with master degree.
Some of their researches had been published in international journals for sharing purpose.
Dr. Wan leaded us to visit Drug Laboratory, Drug Store & R&D Laboratory.
Then we had a chance to visit the main laboratory. They have 27 sets of mass spectroscope (17x GCMS and 10 LCMS). Because of restricted drug testing, all process in each instrument was recorded by CCTV (with very high resolution and each instrument monitored by two cameras).
The racing laboratory is using “Laboratory Information Management System” (LIMS) to achieve the objective of paperless and to facilitate the report reviewing system. Dr. Wong showed the amendment of electronic report.
After that we visited the Specimen Store. The Specimens were kept in -4C. For positive samples, there are 3 refrigerators set at -80C for storage.
The sample bottles were also introduced. The bigger one is 200ml for horse’s urine collection and the smaller one is 50ml for rider’s urine.
The sample bottle for horse’s blood specimen was shown.
This special sample bottle was for 200ml horse’s urine and used for Olympic Game.
There are different types of vegetable for horse feeding and all need to be tested.
Dr. Wan said the Hong Kong Jockey Club’s racing laboratory is one of the top laboratories in the restricted drug testing in the world. The average percentage of positive result is 0.06% in the past 7 years in Hong Kong, and it is 0.26% in the world.
Finally, the vice-chairman of the Environmental and Consumer Goods Subcommittee of HKTIC presented souvenir to Dr. Wan.
The accredited test information of the racing laboratory can be found in HOKLAS Directory below.
