Koichi Shintani is an up-and-coming Japanese Thoroughbred horse trainer who has qualified for the first time in Kentucky Derby. Having started his career only two years ago, he has been climbing up the ranks to make a name for himself.

Shintani, who expressed his desire to play in the Kentucky Derby, first sent his horse to the 1,900-meter Dubai Derby, where Crown Pride excelled with flying colors. That helped Koichi and his team qualify for the Kentucky Derby.
