Jockey Alfred Chan, who has struggled for form in recent seasons, has decided to transition to a behind-the-scenes role after this season and will take up work as a track rider.
Explaining his decision, Chan stated that he has lost the motivation to compete as a jockey. His mentor, Caspar Fownes, also advised him to consider a career change rather than continuing to pursue riding opportunities, leading to his decision to retire at the end of the season.
This season, Chan has only managed one win, guiding Super Legends to victory on September 28 last year. Since then, he has struggled to secure rides. Although he was sidelined for a period due to injury, his return saw even fewer opportunities, and he has not had a race ride in recent times. Given these circumstances, his decision to retire does not come as a surprise.
