The world of horse racing was recently rocked by a public Twitter spat between famous jockey and Iwato trainer. The jockey, whose name has not been released, was denied the chance to ride one of the trainer’s horses. In response, the jockey took to Twitter to criticize the decision and suggest that they should have provided a tourist riding experience instead. This article appeared in Tokyo Sports at an interesting time as it appears that Miura is now a certainty for this year’s races. However, what is particularly impressive is that despite having such criticism written about them in an article, the trainer responded with a column full of sarcasm and wit. It seems clear that both parties are passionate about their respective roles in horse racing and this incident serves as an example of how even those at the top can be held accountable for their actions. It also shows how important it is for trainers to provide riders with opportunities to develop their skills and gain experience in order to ensure success on race day.
