That means Teetan will miss at least Romantic Warrior’s next two runs, with the in-form James McDonald to ride the four-year-old in the Group Two Jockey Club Mile on November 20 and next month’s Group One Hong Kong Cup (2,000m).
Shum confirmed the ride aboard Romantic Warrior is still Teetan’s when he does return to the saddle after the pair also combined to win last season’s Classic Mile and Group One QE II Cup (2,000m).
McDonald, who rode eight winners during a dominant Melbourne Cup Carnival, will also ride the David Hayes-trained Super Wealthy on November 20, piloting the last-start Group Three winner in the Jockey Club Sprint.
