However, the preceding day, December 25th, marked Christmas Eve—a cherished time for family celebrations. Interestingly, it appeared that Karis Teetan’s daughter enjoyed the day virtually through the L.E.D., immersing themselves in the horse racing action as Raging Blizzard showcased its winning form from two starts ago but faced a challenging start upon stepping up to this level, ultimately securing a commendable 4th position behind Galaxy Patch.

Yet at the heart of this feverish competition was race 8, with its winning rider being Karis Teetan, whose win generated large amounts of online, giving his daughter much joy. This touching display of familial encouragement and sheer delight was a pleasure for both spectators and fans to behold.

A heartwarming blend

Xaviere Teetan, the French wife of renowned jockey Karis Teetan, recently shared a delightful Instagram post that featured their first daughter, Isabelle. The charming post showcased Isabelle enjoying a playful moment alongside her best friend, Rochelle’s daughter, both gleefully riding dummy horses while Isabelle’s father enjoyed his racing pursuit.
