Japanese horse racing faces a crisis after its governing body has sacked or held back all of its trainee jockeys for being overweight or breaking rules on the use of mobile phones.
Applications for the Japan Racing Association’s (JRA) school have been falling for three decades, but every year at least three riders have qualified for a licence as a professional jockey. In 2026, however, there will be none: four of the cohort of seven have left the course and three more have been forced to repeat a year because of failures to meet the association’s standards.
“The racing school has traditionally educated its students on not only technical aspects but also on the importance of observing and thoroughly adhering to laws, regulations and compliance, and has made every effort to ensure that this is the case whenever any incidents arise,” the JRA said in a statement
