Zhou Junle, a 20-year-old trainee jockey who loves sports since childhood, enrolled in a trainee jockey school in 2015, successfully passed the physical fitness and riding test, and set a volunteer to become a jockey. But the dream is not smooth sailing. Trainees need to control their weight and work in the stables at four in the morning. However, his weight once increased to 117 pounds, and his riding performance was not satisfactory, and the idea of giving up was once born.
However, Zhou Junle still clenched his teeth and overcame many difficulties. He completed about three years of training courses, which covered riding theory and training, horse cooking, stable management, English, sports science, music and personal financial management. He was later sent to South Australia in 2019 for further training, and played more than 540 times locally, ranking fifth in the South Australian Jockey List.
Until April this year, the principal of the apprentice jockey school informed Zhou Junle that he could return to Hong Kong to prepare for the race. He was quite happy about this and thought that he had taken another big step away from his dream. A hard work, a harvest, he first played in the Shatin Racecourse on May 9 and won two events. It was a blockbuster. It is another step away from representing Hong Kong's dream of participating in international events.
In addition to the opportunity to become a jockey, race trainees can also be promoted to positions related to horse racing. (Provided by the Jockey Club)
The Jockey Club stated that the new "Sports Apprenticeship" will be open for registration from June 22 to July 24.

The Jockey Club means that in addition to the opportunity to become a jockey, race trainees can also be promoted to positions related to horse racing, such as riders, veterinary technicians, equestrian affairs assistants, nail artisans, and race trainee administrative assistants.
