Joao Moreira will miss the jump when the new Hong Kong racing season gets under way at Sha Tin on 11 September.

A statement released by the Hong Kong Jockey Club states:

‘Due to a number of ongoing injuries which have required treatment overseas during the off season, Jockey Joao Moreira’s return to Hong Kong has been delayed.

‘Jockey Moreira is now scheduled for arrival in Hong Kong on 10 September 2022, and therefore will not be able to accept race riding engagements for the Sha Tin race meeting on 11 September 2022 due to the three-day compulsory inbound quarantine requirement.

‘Moreira will be assessed by the Club’s Chief Medical Officer and a further release will be issued when he is passed fit to resume race riding.’
