2026 WORLD ALL-STAR JOCKEYS

The World All-Star Jockeys (WASJ) is an international event launched by the Japan Racing Association.
Initially established in 1987 under the name “the World Super Jockeys Series,” it has welcomed more than 270 top-caliber jockeys from Europe, North America, South America, Oceania and Asia. Renamed the World All-Star Jockeys as a summer event at Sapporo Racecourse in Hokkaido in 2015, a team competition was added to the regular individual contest in which the overseas and NAR jockeys’ “Team WAS (World All-Star)” compete against “Team JRA” to attain the most points as a team.
