Following up on the positive results from routine PCR testing today (30 November) and yesterday (29 November) respectively for Jockeys Zac Purton and Antoine Hamelin, the Club’s Chief Medical Officer (CMO) has determined both to be “re-positive” cases.

After careful clinical and laboratory assessments, the CMO is satisfied that Jockeys Purton and Hamelin are medically fit to be declared for rides at the race meeting to be held on Sunday 4 December 2022.

The CMO will continue to closely monitor both Jockeys and provide timely updates to the Club.
