Gianluca Bietolini, son of Luciano — jockey and trainer — and older brother of Gabriele, jockey, has breathed the atmosphere of horse racing since childhood. This legacy didn’t confine him but inspired him to build his own path with dedication and ambition.

In 2016, Gianluca decided to settle in Maisons‑Laffitte, laying the foundation for his career in France. It was here that his first major Group win came: Dicton triumphed in the Prix de Fontainebleau (G3), marking the beginning of a series of significant achievements.

His journey didn’t stop in France: with Dicton, Gianluca experienced the thrill of international racing, including a notable appearance in Hong Kong. But it was with Grand Glory that he truly stood out on the world stage — racing in Japan, and proving that sometimes, real success knows no borders.
