There is a racecourse and a breeding base for pureblood horses in Youyu County, Shanxi Province where the Yulong International Horse Racing Festival is held, and China's top jockeys gather there every year from May to September.
Li Fangge, a 35-year-old jockey from Yichang, Hubei Province, is one of the best. He has almost 20 years' experience as a jockey and rode two-year-old "Cai Hua Heng Yi" to victory in the opening race on May 13.
