Hong Kong's Team Of Top Jockey's Ready For IJC
Karis Teetan, Vincent Ho and Matthew Poon will join Zac Purton as Hong Kong's representatives in the 2018 International Jockeys’ Championship, where 12 top class jockeys will clash at Happy Valley to battle for the title.
As Hong Kong’s current Champion Jockey, the 2017 IJC victor Zac Purton has the first of four berths allocated to riders from Hong Kong’s excellent talent pool.
The last three places are filled by two of Hong Kong's current leading jockeys and the leading local jockey (a graduate of the HKJC Apprentice Jockeys’ School and currently claiming no more than a 3lb allowance) as of 21 November.
In accordance with the prospectus for the LONGINES IJC races, Ho’s normal two-pound and Poon’s normal three-pound weight allowances will not be applicable in the four legs of this event.
