The Aga Khan Studs are pleased to announce the appointment of Mickaël Barzalona as first jockey for their French-trained horses from the start of 2025.
Mickaël Barzalona
Winner of the Cravache d’Or in 2021, Barzalona is once again in contention for the leading French jockey title this season. In 2024 he has carried the green and red colours to success on Candala in the Gr.3 Prix de la Grotte, as well as Shamarkand in his Listed victory. He also rode Zarigana to win the Gr.3 Prix d’Aumale last month, and will partner the daughter of Siyouni once again in Sunday’s Gr.1 Prix Marcel Boussac.
