Heart's Cry seemed to be very relaxed and in good condition. It has been three months since last race, but he gets stronger. Now, he can go and run everywhere in the world.
"Christophe Patrice Lemaire" is a France/French-born jockey. He takes his middle name from his father, who made a name for himself in the world of French handicap racing.
In 1999 he obtained the licence required for a French jockey, and began racing. He has steadily built up a good track record, becoming the seventh leading jockey in 2003, and winning the French Group 1 Grand Prix de Paris in the same year.
In 2002 he also began racing in Japanese races using the system, taking part mainly at local racecourses such as and . He produced impressive results each year. In 2004, as a Grade I jockey, he came second in the (Autumn) on Dance in the Mood and second in the Japan Cup on Cosmo Bulk, and in the 2005 Daiwa Major he came second in the Mile Championship, but was not fortunate enough to win a in Central Racing.
However, in 2005, riding Heart's Cry (horse)/Heart's Cry in the Arima Kinen, he led the race, on a horse which until then had always been content to play catch-up, and pulled off the feat of putting the first dent in the record of the year's undefeated Triple Crown of Thoroughbred Racing/triple winner, Deep Impact (racehorse)/Deep Impact. This was his first J?sh? pattern race win at Grade I, and at the same time a new record of four consecutive wins of the same race by a foreign jockey, beating the record set by Olivier Peslier.
