Dish: Cristian Demuro, 1st on the Dirt and almost 30 winners

Jockey Cristian Demuro (32 years old) is best known in Japan for having exceptional success on the grass but it is indeed on the dirt that the transalpine won an event on Sunday December 15, 2024 in Kyoto, associated with the colts Shihono Perfetto et Summer Night (2 years). Indeed, in these Maidens for young shoots, the double winner of the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe won in the saddle over the residents of Ryo Terashima. During the meeting marked by this deuce, Cristian Demuro took the runner-up position (2nd behind Admire Zoom) in the “beautiful race”, the Asahi Hai Futurity Stakes (gr.I) with Museum Mile (2 years), group I over 1600 meters on grass, Japanese equivalent of our Jean-Luc Lagardère Prize. Present in Japan until Sunday December 22, Cristian Demuro already has 27 victories since the start of his stay in the land of the rising sun at the end of October, 22 second places and 12 third places. He is already close to 30 winners, in a month and a half (since his arrival on October 27), which is what many JRA jockeys can hope for in a full year…He who is now the first jockey of the Nurlan Bizakov’s stable, displays a winning percentage of 22% and 579,184,000 yen in winnings to date in competition, or around 3.5 million euros and we will remember his resounding six score (five of the first six events of the meeting on October 27 in Tokyo).
