Sean Woods and Andreas Schutz have lost their Hong Kong training licenses for next season.
Both failed to meet the Hong Kong Jockey Club's minimum performance criteria for trainers this season for a third time in their careers, automatically triggering the demand to show cause why they should be licensed again.
Schutz's hearing started on Wednesday, but the committee made no release on the result until the Woods hearing was completed on Thursday afternoon when separate releases declared both trainers to have failed to show cause.
