Marking the third edition of the event, Virgin Bet Women’s Day celebrates women in the horseracing industry, with a panel scheduled on the day to discuss topics including career paths, representation in sports and the development of women’s roles in sports.
The panel, scheduled for 1:30pm GMT, will feature Sky Sports Racing Television Presenter Hayley Moore, Berkshire Equine Veterinary Nurse Laura Perkins, Racing Welfare COO Gemma Waterhouse and WalkSafe Founder Emma Kay.
The raceday marks the final in the season in partnership with The Jockey Club, following Virgin Bet Raceday and Virgin Bet Big Day Out, both held at Kempton Park.

The event follows shortly after two of racing’s biggest events, the Grand National and Cheltenham. The latter was described as particularly lucrative for bookmakers, following the fall of favourite Constitution Hill on day one.
