Macau.- The Macau Jockey Club (MJC) has relocated 177 horses to Zhuhai in mainland China. The horses were shipped in five groups, with the last group of 41 recently completing their move. The horses underwent infrared temperature checks and clinical exams and were taken to the Yintan Quarantine Facility in Doumen District for a 30-day quarantine.
The MJC ended its operations on April 1, 2024 after more than 40 years in operation and was ordered to move all horses by the end of March 2025. The government had terminated the concession contract in January 2024 noting that the club had been facing financial difficulties for years. The MJC has until April 2025 to return all facilities to the government.
