Rene Piechulek (born April 24, 1987)[1] is a German flat racing jockey.
Career
[edit | edit source]Piechulek earned his first jockey license in Germany in 2004.[1]
In 2021, Piechulek won the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe with Torquator Tasso.[2] The riding crop he used in that race was a gift that Filip Minařík, who had recently retired at the time, gave to him from Japan.[3]
In 2024, Piechulek came to Japan as a jockey for the first time, using the short-term license policy.[a] He secured his first victory in Japan after 32 starts, on January 14, when Roselle won R12 of the Nakayama Racecourse that day.[5][6] He later won his first JRA graded race on February 4 when he won the Kisaragi Sho with Byzantine Dream.[7] On February 16, the JRA announced that as of February 18 he would be cancelling his short-term license with the JRA due to personal reasons.[8]
