My Take
Honestly, jockeys don't get nearly enough credit. There's no backstage pass to that kind of discipline. Most people never see the years of grinding weight management and horse whispering that go into one race. Takada fits the type: not flashy, not loud, just quietly, stubbornly committed to his craft. That Osaka grit runs deep. I find myself rooting for guys like him more than almost anyone else in sports.
