Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted August 26, 2018 Journalists Share Posted August 26, 2018 Jockey Christophe Lemaire captured the World All-Star Jockeys Title at Sapporo on Sunday with 72 points. The two-day challenge pits jockeys against each other over four races, two per day. Lemaire won the second leg of day one after a ninth-place finish in the first race, and returned on Sunday to run fifth and first in the third and fourth races, respectively. He was 13 points ahead of Yutaka Take. Mirco Demuro finished third with 40 points and Rafael Bejarano, the top finisher for a non-Japanese-based jockey, wound up fourth with 38 points, two better than Joao “Magic Man” Moreira. “I feel great,” said Lemaire. “Sapporo is a wonderful racecourse and I want to thank the racing fans for their support. I was really lucky to have been able to ride good horses this year.” View the full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
