To celebrate the release of the September issue of the monthly horse racing magazine Yushun, jockey Yutaka Take, the magazine's ambassador, held a talk show in Osaka on the 5th. Seventy fans, who had won tickets through a lottery, attended the event. During the show, Take spoke about his work as a jockey and answered pre-submitted questions from fans. The event was hosted by announcer Naohide Fukuhara.

When discussing Deep Impact, who was ranked number one for the third consecutive year in the "Top 100 Horses to Be Remembered for Generations" list, Take reflected fondly on his legendary partner. "I was fortunate to ride him in all his races, and I'm truly grateful. He was just an incredibly fast horse, which is the most important thing for a racehorse," he praised. When the topic of Deep Impact's statue at Northern Horse Park in Hokkaido came up, Take joked, "I'd love to go ride that sometime," bringing laughter from the crowd. The audience was also impressed when it was revealed that Take had ridden 17 of the top 50 horses, a testament to his legendary status.

The Q&A session with fans proceeded in a lively and friendly manner. When asked the unique question, "What would you talk about if Do Deuce could speak Japanese?", Take responded humorously, "I'd want to go over the race strategy beforehand. And after the race, I'd ask him, 'What did I do wrong today?'" This light-hearted answer delighted the audience.

As for the question, "What has excited you the most recently?", Take spoke about his upcoming ride in the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe with Al Riffa next month. "I was thrilled to get the offer. I'll be heading to France four or five days beforehand, and I'm planning to ride in Ireland the week before. Please look forward to it, and I'll do my best!" he said, sharing his enthusiasm for the upcoming challenge.
