Typhoon Haima has wreaked havoc on Australian shores with world class jockeys Joao Moreira and Sam Clipperton grounded in Hong Kong this weekend.
The Hong Kong Jockey Club isn't willing to risk Moreira and Clipperton being unable to return to Hong Kong in time to ride at Sunday's Sha Tin meeting with the threat from the typhoon delaying international flights.
Moreira was to ride Vadamos in the $3 million Cox Plate on Saturday whilst Clipperton was to partner the Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott-trained English in the Group I Manikato Stakes on Friday night.
Racenet will update with new riders when they are announced.
