Women in Racing was created to develop the profile of women in the sport of horse racing.
Established in 2009, the vision is to connect women across the industry, to raise their profiles and enhance racing’s reputation as an attractive sector for more women to build their careers.
This initiative is independent of horse racing bodies but works in partnership with stakeholders to affect positive change.
Supporting professional development:
Support women at all stages of their career through opportunities including mentoring and bursary schemes.
Promoting our peers:
Create a culture that promotes and celebrates members and which encourages appointment of senior women at the highest levels in racing. We celebrate women across the entirety of the sport.
Career opportunities and longevity:
Workstreams that support and enable women to prosper in sustainable careers in the sport, such as through the Racing Home project.
Building brand relationships:
Develop commercial opportunities for suitable brands to become more involved in racing.
Sharing knowledge and ideas:
Combine knowledge and best practice through connecting people and hosting inspiring events.
