 Jean-Pierre Lopez, with 4 Derbys to his name, is a French jockey based in Baden-Baden on the French-German border.
He actually rides more in France than in Germany even though many would be led to believe that he is a German-based rider.
With 447 winners to the end of 2003, J-P will travel anywhere in his quest for winners. He has been Champion Jockey 4 times in Austria along with taking the N.E.France Jockeys title in 2000.
In early 2002, J-P has been exercising "breeze-up" horses in Miami before returning to Europe where he will be based at Baden-Baden riding as 1st jockey for Dieter Fechner.
