利敬國及盧景暘都有機會返歸

想不到兩個星期以內，有兩名騎師因為違反與賽馬無關的道德行為被撤銷牌照

香港賽馬會雖然因為盧景暘「一個動作」，導致香港賽馬會決定出道前銷注其見習騎牌照。應家柏亦表示那種行為是「不能接受」，不過假如盧景暘有一定成就，例如在維省或新南威爾斯一級賽賽期，並取下勝利，那麼可以獲批返回香港。假如盧景暘在南澳賽事活躍，兩度兩三件在南澳騎師榜排行前五的話，盧景暘可以以馬會騎師申請牌照。並非是見習騎師由「0」開始，我認為就算是香港出生以及接受香港賽馬會培訓課程人士一樣，因為同樣被視為「中途退出」，那麼不能接受減磅亦相當應該。

至於利敬國的「打女友事件」似乎水落石出。

Hi All 👋 We found ourselves in a dispute on the 2nd of April 2020, where a very unfortunate accident occurred. It resulted in my girlfriend having a foot injury. I dearly regret the accident that resulted in the injury. People have taken it upon themselves to speculate what could have occurred. False accusations and allegations have been made by the public. We have since made the decision to move forward as a couple. This private and personal matter resulted in my license being revoked by the HKJC. It has been an honor racing in Hong Kong. I will forever be thankful for the opportunity the HKJC gave me. Hopefully I get the opportunity to be back soon. We are excited to see what the future holds for us both ❤

利敬國在昨天於Instagram公開與女朋友在酒店拍攝的照片，並剖白事情。表示4月2日一些吵鬧，導致他的女友被打傷。香港賽馬會悉知事件後即時停止利敬國的騎師牌照。他表示感謝香港賽馬會給予的機會，希望可以有機會重來。相對而言，南非賽馬計劃5月1日復賽，假如他有辦法回到南非，很快就可以恢復策騎。利敬國最少在南非準備多一至兩季時間才有機會復出。
