France had an issue in attracting female jockeys to the sport and those that were often found trainers unwilling to give them opportunities, that isn’t the issue over here with a number of capable female pilots across both codes.
What the likes of Hayley Turner, Josie Gordon, Bryony Frost and Katie Walsh do here ensures there are future generations of female riders so I doubt attracting ladies to the sport will be an issue for a while

It's interesting though, a debate for another time with the festival looming but this is basically the only sport where females have any sort of chance of being competitive against men. With that in mind attracting female jockeys shouldn't be a problem, I wonder why it is in France

I know this is pretty early but I’ve recieved my first invitation of the year to a preview night
I don’t think anybody has said they do but if anyone lives near the Banbury. Oxfordshire area there is a preview show in Middleton Cheney, panel will be Richard Hoiles, Nicola Mcgeady(head of PR for Ladbroke), Charlie Longsdon, Tom Messenger (assistant to Dan Skelton) and Paul Jones (Former author of the betting guide to Cheltenham Festival).
Doors open at 7pm on Wednesday 6th March.
If anyone is near and fancies it drop me a PM and I’ll invite over Facebook
On the back of that I’ve asked Chester Racecourse if they will be doing theirs again and they will also on Wednesday the 6th at 7. No panel confirmed as yet, but I’ll be going
