The finishing date of Johnny Murtagh's club licence in Hong Kong has been amended because he will be riding in the fourth World Jockeys' Series at Santa Anita, California, next month.

The Hong Kong Jockey Club, having excused Murtagh from Sha Tin duty the same day, has granted him a week's extension.

Murtagh's Hong Kong licence runs as of next Monday, which represents no change on the original plan. However, his stint now ends on March 31st as opposed to March 25th.
