Let's make this birthday one to remember.

56 years old (Born on March 15, 1969)

Happy Birthday, Yutaka Take! You're not just a jockey—you're the legend who rode Deep Impact straight into horse racing history. Winning the Japanese Triple Crown wasn't enough; you had to make it look easy too! Rumor has it even horses line up hoping you'll pick them next.

From thrilling finishes to record-breaking victories, your career is truly one for the ages. May your birthday be as exciting as your races and filled with fewer hurdles than a steeplechase. Here's wishing you another year of smooth rides, fast tracks, and plenty of carrots—though maybe leave those last ones for the horses!
