The 2024 World All-Star Jockeys

A welcome reception attended by participants and members of the racing circle was held at Keio
Plaza Hotel Sapporo from 18:00 on August 23, prior to the World All-Star Jockeys (WASJ), held
over two days from tomorrow.

Chak Yiu Ho (Hong Kong)“First of all, I would like to thank the JRA for inviting me. I am grateful to becompeting against the other top jockeys in Japan and around the world and I
will do my best.”“I feel very good now, I 've recovered well, I’m back in action for quite a longtime already. I’m happy to get back to riding and coming here to Japan to ride
again. It’s a good experience and most importantly as a jockey, I enjoy riding races. I rode in
Sapporo once in 2022 and it was nice—a little bit like Happy Valley but a straight track and flat. It’sa good track and I’m looking forward to riding there.”[Assigned mounts]
