Accepting the Award… “First, I want to say congratulations to everyone. I am proud of the Eclipse Award and to be nominated with so many great trainers, owners and jockeys. Let me say thank you to my agent Jordan Miller. We always stay together. He is so supportive of my success. Also thank you to a lot of trainers and assistant trainers and exercise riders and grooms and owners for giving me the wonderful opportunities. I appreciate it. I would also like to praise the other apprentice riders–this year there were so many great apprentice riders. Congratulations to Julio Correa and Angel Diaz.” —Kazushi Kimura The post Woodbine-Based Kimura Named Outstanding Apprentice appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
