Brazil jockey makes every post a winning one in Asia (Reuters)

The Brazilian jockey Joao Moreira is living proof of that endearing appeal. “I’ve seen some great jockeys over the years, Eric Saint-Martin, Oliver Peslier and obviously Frankie Dettori,” the Australian jockey Corey Brown told Reuters. He struggled for years just to get a riding license in his native Brazil but when he did Moreira proved a natural in the saddle, chalking up more than 1,000 winners in South America before heading to Singapore in 2009.
