Yasutoshi Ikee
Age: 55
Background:
Yasutoshi Ikee is the son of Yasuo Ikee, the former JRA trainer who prepped the immortal Deep Impact and 2001 Hong Kong Vase winner Stay Gold. Ikee worked in his father’s stable for a brief time before going to the United Kingdom to work for Sir Michael Stoute in 1995 and to California in 1996 to work for Neil Drysdale. He returned to Japan in 2003 and took out his training licence. He has no less than 23 top-level wins. Among the best horses he has prepared are 2011 Japanese Horse of the Year and two-time Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe runner-up Orfevre, Dream Journey, and Japanese Classic winners Mikki Queen and Satono Diamond. The 2022 Sprinters Stakes victor Gendarme and 2023 Sprinters Stakes winner Mama Cocha have been his flagbearers in recent times. His latest Group 1 success came with the Mile Championship this year with Soul Rush, who returns for a second tilt at the Hong Kong Mile in 2024.
