This report accompanies a proposal by the Jockey Club to replace the Hack Sand Ride on Six Mile Hill with a sixteen-metre-wide strip at the bottom of the hill with a Hack Canter area. The Jockey Club have concluded that replacement of the existing Hack Sand Ride would be uneconomical and that they would continue their responsibility for maintaining the proposed Hack Canter area, going forward.
