Pike will commence his riding contract at the opening meeting of the new season on September 15 and is required to be in Hong Kong two weeks before the commencement of the season.

“Yes I am going to try my luck in Hong Kong. It is the best racing in the world and I am going to try and match it against them.” Pike told perthracing.com.au

“The HKJC contacted me and it is an opportunity too good to resist.”

Pike currently sits atop of the rider’s premiership here in Perth with 73 winners, more then 34 clear of his nearest rival Troy Turner.
