Eurico Da Silva Claims the Fourth Leg to Grab the 2017 World All-Star Jockeys Title
Eurico Da Silva from Canada skillfully guided fourth-pick Le Grand Frisson to a close but awesome nose victory in the fourth leg to claim the champion title with 47 points. Finishing Day One in seventh by accumulating 16 points from a tenth and a third in the first two legs, he was tied ninth with Mirco Demuro, still 27 points behind Keita Tosaki and Yuichi Fukunaga after finishing 11th in the third leg. Da Silva’s first JRA win in the fourth leg brought him on top with a margin of only two points between Keita Tosaki and Yuichi Fukunaga—tied second—who added one point each by finishing 11th and 13th, respectively, in the last leg. 2015 Champion Joao Moreira, though advancing from 10th at the end of Day One to third after the third leg, retreated to fourth, while defending champion Mirco Demuro was 13th overall.
“I’m out of words—I’m so happy. It took a lot of work to be here. I’m 42 and this came late in my career so I’m just happy to be here with the talented jockeys. It’s a dream come true. I’m also grateful to the Japanese people and the JRA for how they have treated me but most of all, I’m grateful to the fans. They have so much passion and are so excited about the races. My next goal is to go back to Canada and claim the jockey championship for the fifth time”, commented Eurico Da Silva on his overall victory of the series.
Meanwhile, Team JRA, who was ahead by 48 points after Day One, was able to fend off the strong charge by Team WAS to claim the team title for three consecutive years with a margin of 28 points.

| 1st: (11) |
Joao Moreira―dashed out from outer stall, led field throughout for 2-1/2-length win
“I was able to take the colt to the front and set the pace as planned, and he showed good response in the straight.” |
| 2nd: (14) |
Yutaka Take―pressed pace in second, held off strong challenges in homestretch |
| 3rd: (9) |
Mirco Demuro―unhurried in mid-pack, improved to 4th entering lane, closed strongly |
| 4th: (7) |
Christophe Lemaire―relaxed in mid-division, made bid from outside, good stretch kick behind Demuro |
| 5th: (8) |
Anthony Crastus―hugged rails in 3rd, briefly dueled with Take, weakened in last strides
“My mount responded really well. He seemed a bit nervous of the other horses, so I’m sure he’ll do better if this can be improved.” |
| 6th: (12) |
Yuichi Fukunaga―sat 3-wide in 3rd or 4th, lacked needed kick at stretch |
| 7th: (2) |
Keita Tosaki―hugged rails in mid-division, switched to outside at early stretch, failed to respond |
| 8th: (1) |
Hiroyuki Uchida―settled near rear along rails, showed little at stretch |
| 9th: (5) |
Katelyn Mallyon―unhurried, ground-saving trip in mid-field, made mild bid, unable to reach contention
“He raced really well. I think the style of keeping him settled off the pace suits him so we can expect good results in his next race if he can race like today.” |
| 11th: (10) |
Eurico Da Silva―was off slow, traveled 3-wide towards rear, never fired

Kerrin McEvoy―raced 3-wide in mid-pack, angled out at last corner, came up empty
“I raced the filly from behind as instructed and made bid from the third corner but she didn’t respond as I hoped. It might be a good idea to try blinkers.” |
| 13th: (13) |
Tom Queally―was off slow, sat 3rd to 4th from rear, entered lane 2nd from rear, through early
“We raced in the back and made bid from around the third corner but the horse had little to show.” |

Hironobu Tanabe―steadied after start, reserved in far rear, never a factor thereon |

Tom Queally―traveled 4-wide towards rear, gradually advance, never fired at stretch
