PRESIDENT MATTARELLA MEETS MIRCO DEMURO

In recent times he had stepped out of the spotlight a little, but after meeting the President of the Republic Mattarella during his visit to Japan, and then returning to victory in a group race about a year ago, Mirco Demuro, one of the most successful Italian jockeys ever, who moved to the land of the rising sun several years ago, is once again the talk of the town. ‘Mirko San’ achieved success in Nakyama thanks to Shirankedo (a son of Declaration of War, trained by Mitsunori Makiura) with whom he won the Laurel R C Sho Nakayama Himba Stakes. This is his seventh victory since the beginning of the year, but his first at group level.
