Overview

Murzabayev was born on September 17, 1992 in Almaty to a family that owned racehorses, which led him to grow an interest in horse racing.[3] He first earned his jockey license in his native country in 2007 before moving to the Czech Republic, where he won the European Jockeys Cup in 2016 and 2018.[4]

He started racing in Germany also, and is currently running for Peter Schiergen.[5] Under Schiergen, Murzabayev won the Deutsches Derby in 2022 as Sammarco's jockey.[6]

In addition to German racecourses, Murzabayev has also raced in Japan, with his first race being the 2022 Japan Cup,[3] and marking his first major victory in Japan by winning the Hopeful Stakes, where he managed to win the race while riding a 90–1 shot horse named Dura Erede.[7][8]
