And Pike‘s Group 1 rides in South Australia next Saturday are also in doubt.
Pike had been booked to ride Flexible for Godolphin in the Australasian Oaks and Sisstar for Tony and Calvin McEvoy in the Robert Sangster Stakes.
The following week, Pike and his young family were set to jet to the Gold Coast for The Coast‘s big meeting of the winter carnival which features Doomben Cup aspirants running in the Group 2 Hollindale Stakes.
Pike has been booked to ride Fifty Stars in the Hollindale. Fifty Stars showed he was on track to pluck some Queensland racing riches when finishing only a length and a half off Kolding in the Group 1 All Aged Stakes at Randwick on Saturday.
