There’s news on the overseas jockey front with three new additions to the licensed ranks from the start of this month.
Darryll Holland, who enjoyed a successful spell at Busan a couple of years ago, returns to the south coast on a four-month initial license. He’ll be joined by Italian Mirko Sanna. Meanwhile at Seoul, Jan Havlik is set to join. The Slovakian is set to renew his rivalry with Djordje Perovic with whom he has reportedly regularly competed with across Europe. Meanwhile, Marcello Belli has come to the end of his initial four months and has been renewed for a further six:

Jan Havlik (42) turned professional in 1994 and in addition to his native Slovakia, has ridden in many countries across Europe for in excess of 300 career winners. He will be based at Seoul Racecourse.
Mirko Sanna (32) is from Italy. He began race riding in 2000 and has been primarily based in Italy but has also ridden in Malaysia, Australia, Germany, France and most recently in Canada. He will ride at Busan Racecourse.
Darryll Holland (44) is a former Champion Apprentice in the United Kingdom. He returns to Busan Racecourse where he rode 66 winners from 350 mounts between February 2013 and June 2014.
Marcello Belli (44) has been licensed at Seoul Racecourse since August 2016. The Italian jockey has ridden 4 winners from 88 mounts and his license has been extended for a further 6 months.
In other jockey news, 2010 Korean Derby winning jockey Park Geum Man has opted to turn in his license. The 37-year-old debuted when Busan Racecourse opened in 2005 and rode 270 winners from just under 3000 career rides. His license expired at the end of November and he didn’t request a renewal.
Park had a relatively slow start to his career but under the guidance of trainer Peter Wolsley developed into, for a time, one of the top riders at Busan. His biggest win came on Cheonnyeon Daero in the 2010 Derby and he would go on to win the Busan Owners’ Cup on the same horse later that year. His other two group race wins both came in 2012 on Gyeongbudaero in the 2012 KRA Cup Mile and on Yapung in the Breeders’ Cup.

LUNEDÌ 5 DICEMBRE 2016. Pisa: Ralli vince il Rosemberg in una giornata bellissima. Domenica prossima è il turno del Criterium e Andred, ecco gli iscritti…
La prima domenica di un certo livello a San Rossore, ha fatto da preludio a quello che potrà accadere nella domenica prossima, l’11 Dicembre. Quella appena trascorsa però è stata molto bella, non solo dal punto di vista tecnico ma anche dal punto di vista dell’incertezza. Il Rosenberg HP è stato vinto dal Dormelliano Ralli (Orpen) con un Mario Esposito sopraffino che ha risolto tatticamente una corsa numerosissima (VIDEO QUI). Stessa cosa avvenuta per l’Handicap Limitato con la affermazione di Pythius (Lord Shanakill) ancora con Esposito a bordo per Riccardo Santini in formissima nel periodo (VIDEO QUI), quando comincia il mese d’oro di Pisa. Senza dimenticare la condizionata per anziani sui 1200 metri con ben 16 cavalli al via, risolta alla fine da un Pivotal Rio (Captain Rio) ritrovato da qualche mese dopo un periodo nel quale sembrava si fossero perse le sue tracce (VIDEO QUI).
Domenica a Pisa c’è il Meydan Day con tutte le prove sponsorizzate dalla realtà emiratina. Un evento storico per l’ippica italiana: Per la prima volta, la MEYDAN CUP, Listed Race per i Purosangue Arabo. Non solo! Va in scena il LXV Criterium di Pisa Lr sponsorizzato dal Meydan Group, Listed Race per i 2 anni sui 1500 in pista grande. Sono ancora 61 i cavalli iscritti, attendiamo nelle prossime ore una scrematura che ci darà una migliore idea di quello che potrebbe essere un campo di partecipanti verosimile. Stessa cosa per il XIII Premio Andred come Handicap Listed per femmine di 3 anni ed oltre sui 2200 in pista grande, dove al momento le iscritte sono 33.
