On arrival in Hong Kong yesterday, a mandatory polymerase chain reaction (“PCR”) test undertaken by Jockey Hollie Doyle tested indeterminate for COVID-19.  Following further PCR testing undertaken last night and earlier today, the Club’s Chief Medical Officer (“CMO”) has ascertained the original PCR result to be a “re-positive” case.

After careful clinical and laboratory assessments with the results having been communicated to the Government, the CMO is satisfied that Jockey Doyle is medically fit to fulfil her race riding engagements at the Happy Valley Racemeeting to be conducted on Wednesday, 7 December 2022.
