2017 World All-Star Jockeys 2017 WORLD ALL-STAR JOCKEYS The World All-Star Jockeys (WASJ) is an international event launched by the Japan Racing Association. Formerly called the World Super Jockeys Series since its establishment in 1987, it has welcomed more than 200 top-caliber jockeys from Europe, North America, Oceania and Asia and held over two days in late November or early December at either Tokyo or Hanshin Racecourse. The event was given a new title, and was moved to the last weekend of August and to Sapporo Racecourse in northern Japan in 2015. This year’s event welcomes six outstanding jockeys from France, Canada, Australia, Hong Kong and United Kingdom in joining one NAR (National Association of Racing; local public racing) jockey and seven JRA jockeys in their bid for the title. A team competition was added to the regular individual contest since 2015, in which the overseas and NAR jockeys form “Team WAS (World All-Star)” and compete against “Team JRA” to attain the most points as a team. The first two of the four-race series will be conducted on August 26th (Sat), while the third and fourth will be held the following day. 2016 World All-Star Jockeys (closing ceremony) August 2017 The Japan Racing Association 1 The 2017 World All-Star Jockeys 1.

Born in Paris, France, Crastus aspired to become a harness racing driver like his father Antoine but became a flat racing jockey under his father’s advice and made his debut in 2001. He was winless in his first three seasons but landed six wins in 2004 — his first winner was owned by his father — and improved his score to 22 in the following year and placed 44th in the jockeys ranking, then extended his wins further to 45 and ranked 17th in 2006. He was 30th with 31 wins in 2007 during which he claimed his first group-race victory with Pearl Sky in the G3 Prix Exbury. Given opportunities to ride horses trained by renowned trainer Ellie Lellouche and owned by Wildenstein Stable, Crastus made steady progress to reach within the top ten jockeys in 2008 with 70 wins (ninth) and marked his personal best in the following year with 84 wins (eighth) including seven group-race titles out of 794 rides while showing presence in G1 events—he was runner up in the Prix de l’Opera and third in the Prix Vermeille with Board Meeting. He continued to fare well in 2010 with 76 wins (tenth) and just missed his first G1 title when second in both the Prix du Jockey Club and the Grand Prix de Paris with Planteur. Although unable to make the top ten jockeys since, Crastus claimed a German classic title in the 2014 German 1000 Guineas (G2) with Ajaxana. He has also ridden enthusiastically overseas during the winter months, riding under a short-term license in Japan in 2009, 2010 and 2011 during which he registered 22 wins out of 310 rides including two grade-race victories in the Fairy Stakes and the Diamond Stakes with Dance Fantasia and Cosmo Meadow, respectively, in 2011. He also rode Aventino for Japan in the 2012 Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe. His most recent overseas stint was in the U.S.A. between December 2016 and May this year. 4 CANADA Eurico Da Silva Date of Birth : June 29, 1975 ’16 Season Record : 795 mounts, 202 wins / $ 7,721,879 ’17 Season Record : 375 mounts, 85 wins / $ 3,603,100 Recent Career Highlights : ’16 Woodbine Oaks (Neshama) ’17 Dance Smartly Stakes (G2, Starship Jubilee) ’17 Connaught Cup Stakes (G2, Tower of Texas) Participation in the WASJ : 1st Eurico Da Silva is a three-time champion jockey at Woodbine who is bidding for another jockey title this season, currently at the top with 85 wins including three G2 and four G3 titles from 375 rides. He boasts a winning strike rate of 23% while finishing within the money in 60% of his total rides. A talented and well experienced jockey riding in various countries, Da Silva takes part in the World All-Star Jockeys for the first time as Canada’s representative to test his skills in Japan. Born in Sao Paulo, Brazil, Da Silva began racing quarter horses in his native country at twelve years of age and enrolled in the Jockey School of Sao Paulo at sixteen. His riding talent was quickly recognized early in his career as he became champion apprentice in his debut season and claimed the Grande Premio Derby Paulista with Franz Post in 1994. He left his home country after 450 wins over five seasons in search of more challenge overseas, rode in Macau for four seasons during which he scored just under 300 wins, and moved onto to Canada in 2004. Listed among the top ten jockeys with 83 wins in 2007, Da Silva progressed to mark over 100 wins to rank fourth in the following year then claimed his first champion title in 2010 with 190 wins. He repeated the feat in 2015 with 201 wins and reached his personal best last year with 202 wins for his third champion title. He was also the winner of the Sovereign Award Outstanding Jockey in the three years as leading jockey as well as when he was the national leader in earnings in 2013.

  • Contracts and Bonuses in the Sport of Kings – New Evidence on Jockeys’ Pay and Performance
    Contracts and Bonuses in the Sport of Kings – New Evidence on Jockeys’ Pay and Performance David Butler, Department of Economics, University College Cork, Ireland Robert Butler, Department of Economics, University College Cork, Ireland* Robert Simmons, Lancaster University, United Kingdom * Corresponding author. Email [email protected] Telephone +353 21 490 2434. ABSTRACT A considerable body of evidence exists to show that performance-related pay schemes can raise worker productivity with much of this increase due to worker sorting. However, variations in the power of performance-related pay contracts are rarely observed. The thoroughbred horse racing industry offers such an opportunity. Elite jockeys are paid an annual salary (retainer) as well as receiving a riding fee and share of prize money earned in races. Contrary to earlier research, we find no evidence of worker shirking when the power of incentive contracts is reduced through switching into retainer contract. We find a positive relationship between jockey pay and performance in this industry, with jockeys delivering greater prize money for owners and themselves. Moreover, retainer contracts result in legacy effects with superior performance continuing for elite jockeys even after their retainer agreements have expired. We argue this is due to a reduction in monitoring costs and enhanced opportunities for previously retained jockeys to ride successfully for large-scale racehorse owners. This all points to successful selection and monitoring by horse race owners, their executives and trainers. Our results are significant for employers and employees working under performance-related pay schemes. Word Count: 8,594 Keywords: Contracts, incentives, horse racing.
