Let's Dish on the Global Jockey League Shaking Up Horseracing!
Get ready to witness some heart-pounding action as a dozen top-tier jockeys, including Frankie Dettori, Ryan Moore, and William Buick, prepare to compete in a groundbreaking global jockey league! This competition, co-founded by former Godolphin chief John Ferguson, aims to redefine horseracing by attracting a global audience and revolutionizing the sport.
Alongside Dettori and his mates, prestigious jockeys like Australian James McDonald, Brazilian Joao Moreira, French duo Christophe Lemaire and Mickael Barzalona have signed up for the ride. With the league's ambitious plans, racing enthusiasts can expect thrilling competitions at iconic racecourses like Ascot, York, Leopardstown, the Curragh, Longchamp, and Chantilly - just to name a few!
"This project is frickin' awesome!" exclaimed three-time Champion Jockey, Dettori. "With the worldwide appeal post-Race For The Crown Netflix series, I can't wait to get my game face on!"
The star-studded lineup includes Japan's Yutaka Take, American Irad Ortiz Jr., Frenchman Flavien Prat, and Aussie phenoms Zac Purton and Vincent Ho. Pondering the line-up's strength, Flavien Prat said, "I'm psyched to be a part of this global endeavor. Together, we're on a mission to draw increased interest to horseracing worldwide!"
Here's how it'll go down: the jockeys will represent their own teams and accumulate points at six-race fixtures. These events could take place at top racecourses not only in Europe but also at famed tracks worldwide.
"The jockeys we've gathered for this globe-trotting league are an unparalleled group," shared Ryan Moore. "I'm jamming on the prospect of contributing to a more worldwide following in the sport of horseracing."
