Next TAB Saddle-Up Sunday Meeting – 29 January 2012 – Ballina Jockey Club

The next TAB Saddle-up Sunday Meeting will be conducted by the Ballina Jockey Club on Sunday 29 January 2012 – the Iris Neilson Ladies Invitational raceday.

This special Saddle-Up Sunday is all about the ladies! Celebrating female jockeys, the 110 year old Ballina Jockey Club will be pulling out all stops for the fifth anniversary of this special raceday.

Iris Neilson was a pioneer for women jockeys and sadly lost her life in a fall in 1988. To commemorate her contribution to NSW Racing, Ballina Jockey Club invite current female jockeys to take part in a $50,000 feature race, the Iris Neilson Ladies Invitational. At the conclusion of the race day three young jockeys will join the ranks of Iris Nielson and be inducted into the Ballina Jockey Club Lady Jockeys Hall of Fame.

It’s all about girl power - so ladies make tracks and head to Ballina Jockey Club.
