Mamoru Ishibashi

I'll be honest, I have a soft spot for jockeys, so Mamoru Ishibashi pulls me in instantly. I love that. Being a jockey, as he was before becoming a trainer, isn't glamour, it's weight management, raw nerve, and the quiet acceptance that every race carries the risk of a fall. He's not the loud, social-media type, and that's exactly why I respect him more. The people who don't say much but log decades of hard, dangerous work tend to carry it in their bearing, and I find that kind of understated grit genuinely admirable.
