Yasuhiro Nemoto

Honestly, jockeys don't get nearly enough credit, and Yasuhiro Nemoto is exactly the kind of quietly extraordinary person that makes me think about that. He beat Symboli Rudolf on Gallop Dyna in the 1985 Tenno Sho, won the 1987 Japanese Derby on Merry Nice, and then spent years as a trainer at Miho — riders like this tend to let the work speak, no hype machine. There's something about a career spent in the saddle, in the dirt and the early mornings, that earns a kind of silent respect from me that no press release ever could.
