It was no surprise to learn this morning that Aldo Domeyer has been granted a club licence in Hong Kong. The likeable Cape jockey will join from May 1 until the end of the season but will likely be asked to stay on. Hong Kong is a Jockey's paradise if all goes well but even the best have found the transition difficult. The Jockey Club would have thought about the current champion jockey Lyle Hewitson but his age would have counted against him and his time will come.
