Experienced Victorian apprentice will fill a void in Brisbane racing when she gets into full swing during her stay in the north.

There is a lack of experienced three-kilo claiming apprentices in Brisbane with the majority having 2kg or 1.5kg claims.

Hall is on loan to trainer for three months and hopes to make it a permanent arrangement.

She has ridden 136 winners in Victoria and and while she has no provincial allowance still has 3kg in the metropolitan area.

“The opportunities will be limited in the spring in Melbourne and Queensland is a place which gives apprentices a go,” she said.

Bougoure believes Hall will fit perfectly into the Brisbane racing scene.

“She arrived this week and immediately impressed as a hard worker. Chelsea has ridden 136 winners so she is very experienced and I see no reason why she won't make it here,” Bougoure said.

Bougoure said Hall would be booked for rides through manager Rachel Allen.

Fellow rider has been allowed back on a horse after missing the past five months because of an injury sustained in a trackwork fall at .

Bogenhuber posted a photograph on social media of on a horse this week but does not yet have a date to return to race riding.
