Overview

• Probert has secured a part-time licence from the Hong Kong Jockey Club, with his work visa activating on August 27.
• He will compete from September through February alongside Derby-winning jockey Richard Kingscote in Hong Kong’s 2025/26 campaign.
• The 36-year-old has partnered over 100 winners each year since 2018, excluding the pandemic-hit 2020 season, amassing nearly 1,700 career victories.
• He is moving to access scarce Classic and Group 1 mounts that are limited for freelance riders in Britain’s top yards.
• Probert anticipates an initial culture shock adapting to Hong Kong’s twice-weekly, high-stakes racing schedule but expects it to sharpen his riding and broaden his outlook.
