Considered the world’s highest earning jockey ever, Yutake Take faces a desperate battle to ride in Sydney for the first time since 1995.
Legendary Japanese jockey Yutaka Take will have to pass a medical before being cleared to ride in the $10 million Golden Eagle after being kicked by a horse.
Take didn’t ride for the remainder of the Tenno Sho meeting and was pictured leaving the Tokyo races on crutches, but did not suffer any broken bones. His Sydney visit is designed to headline a race which featured Frankie Dettori last year. Galeron has butted heads with European star Paddington in the Irish 2000 Guineas and again in the St James’s Palace Stakes during the Royal Ascot carnival.Obamburumai and New Zealand-based Legarto will be the other main international contenders for the Golden Eagle, which is already attracting international interest despite being in just its fifth year.
The teenager, who was riding Balzando in a class 3 handicap, had family at his bedside in Newcastle’s John Hunter Hospital after being airlifted from the track.
