The Emperor wins the most prestigious race at the Veliefendi Racecourse in Istanbul. A true story about what is love.
At the beginning of the same year, jockey Halis KARATAS lost his wife to cancer and was away from the field. His wife was one of the important names in the Turkish Equestrian community. After the death of his wife, Halis Karatas stayed away from the field and returned with the Gazi Run and dedicated his victory to his wife and the life they spent together. At the end of the run, the jockey kisses the ring on his finger. He still wears the ring, which is the symbol of his marriage and his love for Ms. Begüm.
On top of this moment, the filmmakers took their story from the beginning and shot the unforgettable movie Champion. It is possible to watch the moment in the photo in the movie.
