Career

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  [ ja ]. [7] On February 16, the JRA announced that he would be cancelling his short-term license with the JRA as of February 18. [8]
