Looking back on the series, jockey Christophe praised Moreira, saying, "There are four races in the WASJ, and accumulating good points on average will lead to victory in the series. The winning jockey Moreira's handling of the reins was impressive, and his riding style of keeping the bit firmly on the horse during the race is completely different from mine. I have raced against him many times in the past, and he has an incredible technique for getting the horse to use its legs in an instant." That night, he seemed to enjoy a good time with fellow French jockey Santiago, as well as jockeys Teitan and Lane, whom he hadn't seen in a while.

He participated as a speaker at the Asian Horse Racing Congress in Hokkaido, and on Tuesday spoke with jockey Koji Kitamura about his retired horses. "The instructors demonstrated Disaifa and Sahara Desert, both of which I rode during my active career. It makes me very happy to see horses enjoying a second life in the equestrian world even after retiring from racing. It's all thanks to the hard work of the training staff who made these equestrian movements possible," he said, praising those involved as he intently watched the delicate equestrian movements not shown during racing training.

She also appeared on stage with jockey Yutaka Take and interviewer announcer Fukuhara at a panel discussion held at the Sapporo Convention Center. She carefully answered questions about jockeys' honest thoughts on whip rules and "Uma Musume." Regarding the donation of a portion of the sales of "CL by C. Lemaire" to support retired racehorses, she said with emotion, "I believe that fans who purchase our items also feel that they are supporting retired horses. I would be happy if my brand can play a role in helping everyone enjoy horse racing."

When asked about his career as a jockey, he said, "The race I most want to win is the next one I ride. As a short-term goal, I'd like to win this year's leading jockey title, and I'd also like to win the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe within the next five years." After the entire talk session, Christophe briefly commented, "I was a little nervous on stage," but those involved seemed to think it was a good session. Since returning from the UK after the International Stakes, he has had a busy schedule, appearing at the World All-Star Jockeys, the Asian Racing Conference, and the "CL by C. Lemaire" talk show, but he concluded by saying, "Starting tomorrow, I'll do my best in the races in Niigata!"
