Owner John Camilleri is expected to announce that Mark Zahra will take the ride on board Vadamos in the 2016 Cox Plate.
Plans for Joao Moreira to take the ride were thrown in to turmoil earlier today when Typhoon Haima prevented the jockey to leave Hong Kong.
Damien Oliver was initially booked ride but a suspension through a spanner in the works. Oliver will make a last ditch attempt to overturn his suspension at a VCAT hearing tomorrow.
Jockey Mark Zahra will ride Vadamos in the Cox Plate pending the outcome of Damien Oliver’s VCAT hearing tomorrow. Starts 10am.
