Elione Chaves is a Brazilian jockey who has been brought to the Gold Coast by trainer Adam Campton. Chave is looking to emulate his compatriot Joao Moreira. He is also an admirer of Frankie Dettori and João Moreirao. He has travelled to America, Dubai and Singapore but stayed in Sweden because he has a nine-year-old son there.

They became good friends and Corey moved to Australia. On Saturday Chaving finished second aboard Charge On at Gold Coast. He is a mystery rider. His family thinks it's special.
