Overview
- The Hong Kong Jockey Club confirmed the Longines International Jockeys’ Championship will be run on December 10 at Happy Valley.
- Two-time IJC winner Ryan Moore is included subject to medical clearance after a femoral stress fracture sidelined him since early September.
- Reigning champion Mickael Barzalona, James McDonald, William Buick, Hollie Doyle, Rachel King and Umberto Rispoli join returnees Joao Moreira and Christophe Lemaire.
- Zac Purton is locked in as Hong Kong’s champion representative, with the remaining two local berths to be decided after the November 26 Happy Valley meeting.
- If Moore does not ride, organizers will replace him with another international; the four-race series uses a 12-6-4 points format and offers HK$7.5 million in purses plus HK$1 million in rider bonuses and trainer incentives.
