Welcome to Chelmsford City Racecourse

The first race this evening is the Fegentri World Championship Handicap (for female amateur jockeys). Fegentri is the international federation for lady and gentleman amateur riders and tonight’s race has a truly international make-up. There is Miss Alice Keighley from England, who has ridden 8 winners; Mlle Tereza Grbavcicova from the Czech Republic, who has ridden 22 winners; Mell Boucher from the USA, who has ridden 9 winners; and Margaux Collomb from France, who has ridden 22 winners.

All these riders, as I have said, are amateur riders and, therefore, have other full-time jobs with Margaux Collomb listing her job as a commercial collaborator and Mlle Tereza Grbavcicova listing her’s as a customs officer.

We wish these riders the best of luck and don’t forget that at 5.20 pm, we have a Shetland pony race, which are always great fun to watch. We are also partnering with Autism in Racing this evening to offer children with autism complimentary badges, which is a charity that we are proud to support.

Have a lovely evening.
