Jockey Ryusei Sakai Talks Forever YoungRyusei Sakai has been Forever Young's jockey in every race. "[Forever Young is] undefeated in training and in racing. For him at the moment, that's a unique thing," Sakai said through a translator. Sakai said he's got a lot of faith in Forever Young, so he's looking forward to going out there together. Now they're on the sports biggest stage, where the approach has to be just as perfect. "At this point in his career, one race is kind of from all over the place," Sakai said through a translator. "If the pace is really, really fast he'll probably be coming from behind. If the pace is really, really slow, he will probably be a little more forwardly placed." Source: WHAS 11 |

UAE Derby (1)
No UAE Derby winner has gone on to be victorious in the Kentucky Derby. This could have something to do with what we all suffer with when traveling overseas, jet lag.
In fact, UAE Derby winners are 0 for 19 all time in the Kentucky Derby and never have finished better than fifth. OUCH!!!!!
