HKJC Pre-Purchase Examination Expertise
We conduct pre-purchase examinations for Hong Kong Jockey Club Members across New Zealand, covering both the North and South Islands. The vetting process for entry into Hong Kong is among the most rigorous a racehorse can undergo.
With our expertise in equine vet checks, we provide owners, trainers, and bloodstock agents with confidence that their chosen horse meets the strict veterinary requirements and is well-suited for competition under Hong Kong racing conditions.
