| Star jockey Yutaka Take made his comeback on Sunday after being sidelined for nearly fourth months with an injury sustained when he was tossed from his horse during a Grade Three race. The 41-year-old Take, who has won at least one Grade One title every year for the last 22 years, rode two horses at the Kokura Kinen Grade Three meeting, placing fourth in Race 6 aboard Code Z before guiding top favorite Smart Gear to a third-place finish in Race 10.

The headband, called mongkhol, is believed to bestow luck to the wearer since it has been blessed by a monk or the boxer’s own teacher.

It will be removed after the wai khru dance, and only by the boxer’s trainer. The armbands, meanwhile, are believed to offer protection and are only removed when the fight has ended.
