Souquet was under the impression that he could ride at Albury because he resides inside the bubble.

However, Racing Victoria stewards ruled Souquet would instead have to complete 14-days self-isolation if he rode at Albury.

"The Victorian stewards rang me on Thursday to say if I rode at Albury I would have to do 14-days," Souquet said.
"So that wasn't an option because I'm not allowed to ride track work and I would lose too much fitness-wise not riding.
"I contacted Racing NSW stewards and they had no dramas with me riding because Albury and Corowa fall inside the bubble.
"Missing out on five rides and a few barrier trials hurts because it's around $1000 in my pocket after tax."
