👀 Have you SEEN the nominations for the Pat O’Brien?
From Japan to Dubai, Mirco Demuro has won major ra From Japan to Dubai, Mirco Demuro has won major races around the globe. ✈️ 🌏 Now the Italian Jockey returns to chase a lifelong dream of winning a Grade I race in America. 

This is not the first time Demuro has been to California, “I was 17 when I came to the States for the first time. I always longed to be a jockey and my dream was to be like Jerry Bailey. I love his American style of riding. He was so cool on the horse."

That was 1996. He arrived at LAX and didn’t waste any time getting to Hollywood Park, talking his way onto the backside and wandered into the barn of Richard Mandella, convincing the Hall of Fame trainer to give him some work.

“When I first came here the jockey room was filled with Alex Solis, Laffit Pincay and David Flores. To pick up rides was very hard but I learned so much from them.” 

One of the valuable lessons he learned was how to gauge the pace as the race developed. To back off if they are going too fast, to press the front runners f they’re going too slow. “After I was here for two or three months, I got back to Italy and people went crazy for me. I was doing so good with the timing. I could feel it and trainers felt ‘this guy knows what to do’. I got so much business and I started to win Group races.”

He was Italy’s leading jockey from 1997-2000 while winning Group I races all over Europe. Then the chance came to ride in Japan where he made his mark: 111 graded stakes, 34 Group 1 wins. In 2011 came a golden opportunity to ride in the Dubai World Cup. 

“It was a funny race because my horse missed the start. I said to myself ‘They’re going too slow’ so I used my American clock and made a move (to go to the front) on the backstretch and then in the stretch he just kept on going.” Victoire Pisa won the race in a photo finish and Demuro had another achievement for his extensive resume. 

For the next 10 years he was the top jock in Japan, becoming one of the first foreign jockeys to become full-time riders in Japan along with Christophe Lemaire. Last September, he reached a milestone only 30 jockeys in Japan have acieved: 1,300 wins.

His last race in Japan was July 12. Then he packed up and moved his tack to Del Mar.
