SUBJECT: RESULT OF THE 24th WORLD SUPER JOCKEYS SERIES
The WORLD SUPER JOCKEYS SERIES (WSJS), a popular annual event in Japan and throughout the world, is a
championship that brings together fifteen outstanding jockeys from Europe, North America, Oceania, Asia and
Japan. This year’s Series, which celebrated its 24th occasion, included the following jockeys.
Mike Smith (USA) from North America; John Murtagh (IRE), Ryan Moore (GB), and Maxime Guyon (FR),
Christophe Lemaire (FR) and Christophe Soumillon (FR) representing Europe; Craig Williams (AUS) from
Oceania; Matthew Chadwick (HK) representing Asia; Masayoshi Ebina, Hiroyuki Uchida, Masami Matsuoka,
Yuichi Fukunaga, Shinji Fujita and Yusuke Fujioka from the Japan Racing Association (JRA), and Kazuki Sugimura
from the National Association of Racing (NAR).
Norihiro Yokoyama claimed last year’s championship for the second time since winning the title in 1995. The
veteran jockey secured the title with 47 points by winning the third leg, the Golden Boots Trophy, and finishing
second and fourth out of four races that took place over two days at Hanshin Racecourse. Although he la unched
another successful season this year and is currently leading the jockey list, he just returned from a
career-threatening fall during a race on September 26 and is unable to participate in the series this year. Nine points
behind in second with 38 points was Douglas Whyte, who was second for two consecutive years, with Ryan Moore
representing Great Britain finishing a close third with 37 points.

- Comments by Foreign Jockeys -
1st: Ryan Moore (GB) on 4th favorite Bokuno Taiyo (JPN, H5):
“He broke well and I was able to race him towards the front as instructed. He maintained his speed right up to the
end of the long Tokyo stretch. I’m very happy to have won the race.”
7th: John Murtagh (IRE) on 14th favorite Sammaru Seiko (JPN, M7):
“I was able to save his energy for the stretch as instructed. She performed well.”
8th: Maxime Guyon (FR) on 9th favorite Danon Brian (JPN, G6):
“I was told by the trainer to go along with the gelding’s pace. He broke really well and I was able to race him in
front. If only the race was one furlong shorter… I think a distance of 1,400 meters would suit him best.”
9th: Matthew Chadwick (HK) on race favorite Earth Living (USA, F4):
“He was relaxed during the race so I thought we could win, but he didn’t have any more to give at the stretch. It’s
quite disappointing as I was expecting to win.”
12th: Mike Smith (USA) on 12th favorite Field Jewel (JPN, H8):
“I raced the horse towards the back as instructed, but the pace was too slow for him.”

CHRISTOPHE SOUMILLON guided his mount Tokai Prime to the front early to lead the field, followed by
JOHN MURTAGH on board Mach Velocity chasing two lengths behind in second. Breaking from the most inner
stall, MATSUOKA settled his colt on the rail in third to fourth in the backstretch, while FUJIOKA also saved
ground farther behind in mid-pack. FUKUNAGA kept his mount well reserved near the rear most of the journey,
as MASAYOSHI EBINA with Blast Dash and American contender MIKE SMITH and Tosen Goliath
gradually accelerated along the outside from mid-division as the field made their final turn.
Still on a short lead after straightening away, SOUMILLON dueled with MURTAGH and late charging
MAXIME GUYON on Shigeru Fuseruto edging up between them down the stretch, but was finally caught at the
furlong pole by FUJIOKA, closing on the inside. FUJIOKA held on well to the inherited lead, however
FUKUNAGA’s chestnut found an extraordinary turn of foot as he split horses and stormed down the stretch after
entering the lane second from rear, skillfully passing tiring rivals to clear the wire in the final strides by a neck.
Blocked by horses for running room early at the straight, third favorite MATSUOKA found his stride late but drove
well to finish a neck behind FUJIOKA for third. 2007 World Super Jockeys Series winner CRAIG WILLIAMS
from Australia and Hong Kong’s 20-year-old MATTHEW CHADWICK also showed a good rally with the
leaders for a close fourth and fifth respectively.

5th: Matthew Chadwick (HK) on 14th favorite Goldilock (JPN, H6):
“He has good finishing speed so the slow pace worked to his advantage. I think he has a good chance to win at this
level”
7th: John Murtagh (IRE) on 6th favorite Mach Velocity (JPN, C4):
“He ran out of steam after taking a brief lead at the top of the stretch, but he’s a very good colt. He handled the
2,000m distance, but 1,800m might suit him better.”
8th: Maxime Guyon (FR) on 7th favorite Shigeru Fuseruto (JPN, H5):
“The ground was a bit too firm for him. He did his best, but the distance may have been too long for him also.”
11th: Ryan Moore (GB) on 15th favorite I T Top (JPN, H5):
“We were trailing all the way. He seemed to lack momentum”

- Race Summary-
JOHN MURTAGH gave race favorite Kenya Black a perfect trip to land the Excellent Jockeys
Trophy—MURTAGH collected 20 points with the win. SUGIMURA, representing the NAR also gave an
impressive effort with fifth favorite Nashwan Hero after setting the pace most of the way and holding off his rivals
for a clear second.
The race broke off with KAZUKI SUGIMURA and Nashwan Hero quickly in front to set the pace with
MATTHEW CHADWICK aboard Derma Plotina chasing the pace between SHINJI FUJITA’s
Gandhara.and CHRISTOPHE LEMAIRE who rated Strong Point outside the two in fourth. JOHN
MURTAGH, after a rather slow start, positioned Kenya Black in mid-division behind that while hugging the rails
while YUSUKE FUJIOKA on Monte Fujisan trailed the field. SUGIMURA opened the lead to almost three
lengths in the early stages but the field began to close in on the leader passing the 800-meter mark, as
CHADWICK brought his mount in level with the leader turning for home. As MIKE SMITH’s Meiner Elf and
FUJITA’s Gandhara both faded after a brief effort at the top of the stretch, Kenya Black responded well to
MURTAGH who urged the Jungle Pocket colt through the inside, and swept past SUGIMURA inside the
400-meter pole. Kenya Black continued to draw away to a dominating four-length victory as SUGIMURA’s
Nashwan Hero hung on gamely to finish second best.
FUJIOKA displayed a terrific late charge with Monte Fujisan, who came from way behind between horses to
finish third with MOORE’s Rhythmical Step and CRAIG WILLIAMS’ Kashima Strong close behind that in
fourth and fifth.

- Series Summary-
RYAN MOORE from Great Britain captured his first WORLD SUPER JOCKEYS SERIES title this year in his
third challenge—he finished 10th in his first participation in 2006 and was third last year—with a total of 33 points.
The 2007 champion CRAIG WILLIAMS from Australia was close behind in second with 32 points, followed by
Irish contender JOHN MURTAGH who scored 30 points. YUSUKE FUJIOKA finished one point behind in
fourth, which was the highest among the seven Japanese contenders.
Making a good start by winning the first leg of the three-race series and acquiring 20 points, RYAN MOORE went
on to add another 2 points and 11 points by finishing 11th and fourth respectively, in the following two races to claim
the series title. CRAIG WILLIAMS, although without any win, was consistent in all three races—4th, 4th and
5th—to score a total of 32 points, just one point short of the winner. While JOHN MURTAGH was among the
lower half of the ranking after the second race with only 10 points—coming in seventh in both races—he won the
last leg of the series and added 20 points to dig into third-place.
Champion RYAN MOORE commented: “I just concentrated on the race, and winning the series is like a bonus. I
was lucky with the draw and was fortunate to be able to win the series among all the great jockeys. I would like to
thank the JRA for inviting me here, and would like to come back again in the future”. The runner-up CRAIG
WILLIAMS said: “I’m honored to be able to represent Australia and stand on the winners’ podium. I feel
privileged to be part of the series that bring together outstanding jockeys from all over the world. I look forward to
coming back next year if possible”. JOHN MURTAGH also commented: “I’m relieved that it’s over. It was a
close competition but I’m glad I was able to do well. I’m pleased to be back in Japan and would like to thank
everyone here for their support.
The trophy was presented by Cash Asmussen who holds the title for both the first World Super Jockeys Series held
in 1987 and the first Japan Cup in 1981 (partnered with Mairzy Doates).
