The Club wishes to advise that currently licensed Club Jockeys Olivier Doleuze and Gerald Mosse withdrew their applications for a further licence for the following reasons:-

O Doleuze
Jockey Doleuze informed the Committee that he has been under specialist medical treatment regarding an ongoing issue with his right shoulder and had decided that after the conclusion of the current racing season he will take an extended break from riding in an endeavour to rectify the problem in order to hopefully prolonging his riding career.

G Mosse
Jockey Mosse informed the Committee that he had decided to return to Europe at the conclusion of the current racing season to continue his riding career and with a longer term view to the next stage of his career in racing, potentially as a trainer.
