The Japan Racing Association (JRA) announced that its academy will not produce any new jockeys in 2026, as four of this year's seven trainees dropped out and the remaining three failed to meet standards. On July 18, 2025, the JRA sponsored the $200,000 Canadian Stakes (G2T) at Woodbine, featuring Gimme a Nother (SAF) competing in a Canadian turf race for the first time. Ready for Shirl won the same race on July 20, 2025. The JRA also rescheduled the Takarazuka Kinen (G1) for June 15th to avoid summer heat. Damian Lane won his sixth JRA Group 1 race on Sunday, riding Redentor to victory in the Tenno Sho (Spring) at Kyoto.
