Apologies, America: Sha Tin's 'all-weather track' is actually dirt

Rich Tapestry won at Santa Anita on a dirt surface. The name "all-weather track" is a misnomer. It's a training track. If it was to become unusable, horses couldn't be trained and there would be no racing. Michael Chang flew to the US to use Lasix on his horse. He didn't want to fly to US, he wanted to win. Alan Aitken once tweeted that he would rather shoot heroin than bet on races held on the AWT. Richard Tapesta won two from two on it. His horse is trained by Michael Chansh. Chnsh is not a good horse, but he's not bad either.
