French flat racing Champion Jockey explained

The title of French flat racing Champion Jockey is awarded to the jockey who rides most flat winners in France. The championship used to run the whole calendar year, but since 2022, it runs from 1st March to 31st October. The change was made to revive the competition and make it more appealing to younger jockeys.[1] The name of the awards in French is Cravache d'Or (Golden Whip) for the winner, Cravache d'Argent (Silver Whip) for the runner-up and Cravache de Bronze (Bronze Whip) for the third jockey.
