Ladies Day: first for WA with all-female jockeys at Moora race meeting

It was Ladies’ Day at the Geraldton Turf Club last Sunday but the once-a-year Moora Race Club beat ’em by a day.

In doing so, Moora created WA history and possibly landed a national and international first.

For the first time at a WA race meeting, only female jockeys rode at Moora.

Though it rained and rained, it didn’t detract from women reigning.

There was a long break between races because of rain and the Moora Cup was a non-event when the tractor moving the starting barriers failed to work.
