De Souza Headed To Hong Kong In September

British Champion Jockey, Silvester De Sousa has been granted a licence by the Hong Kong Jockey Club to ride from August 20 to February 20, with the season kicking off at Sha Tin on September 11.

The Brazilian has ridden 67 winners in Hong Kong previously, including the 2018 Hong Kong Cup aboard Glorious Forever, as well as landing the Longines International Jockeys' Championship the same year.

De Sousa, who was the British champion in 2015, 2017 and 2018, said: "I am delighted to have been asked to go back out to Hong Kong for another stint. It's a brilliant place to ride and it was just too good an opportunity to turn down.
