Jockey Özcan Yıldırım, who will compete with Lord of Pelennor in the Gazi Race, known as the derby of Turkish equestrianism, which will be held for the 97th time this year, made a statement. Özcan Yıldırım, who won the Gazi Race last year, stated that he is one of the candidates closest to the first place this year, and said, “We are riding a lucky horse this year, too. It is among the first 3-4 horses. Actually, everything ends after winning Gazi. “You want to achieve success with the same enthusiasm when the year comes. We are close to success this year as well. If the race chance is on our side, I think I am one of the candidates closest to the first place,” he said.
“I THINK WE’RE GOING TO THE CUP AGAIN”
Pointing out that it is good for them to compete with experienced jockeys in the Gazi Race, Özcan Yıldırım said, “We have participated in Gazi for 15 years. We placed third, fourth, second, and last year, first place. In fact, the more experienced jockeys, the better for us. “I think it’s good. I think the race will be good and fast this year as well. Our horse is also a waiting horse. If we have the chance to race and we go well in the race, if our horse arrives without any problems that day, I think we will go to the cup again,” he said.
“WE WILL GET THE CUP THIS YEAR INSHALLAH”
Özcan Yıldırım, who also gave information about his horse, Lord of Pelennor, with whom he will compete in the 97th Gazi Race, said, “My horse was in Bursa. He is in a good team. He is in a team that constantly wins Gazi. When I see him, everything is going very well. I think he will run at a better level for the first time. I rode in the last Sait Akson race for the first time. He is a waiting horse. I think his nervous system is a little relaxed and calm. It will be an advantage for me too. If we follow the race where we want, I hope we will win the trophy this year,” he concluded. .
