The Victorian Jockeys’ Association (VJA) is proud of its relationship with the Victoria Racing Club (VRC). We are pleased to be able to provide significant, meaningful, on-going support to the wider Victorian jockey cohort with the support of our industry partners including the VRC. The theme of today’s race meeting is “Honouring Our Jockeys” and we are delighted to be joined today by representatives of many families of our jockeys who have been lost in racing and other circumstances since 2000. It is also an opportunity to recognize the wonderful contribution made by all jockeys involved in our sport. VJA CEO Matt Hyland said: “On behalf of VJA, sincere thanks to VRC for providing us with this race day to pay tribute to our Victorian jockeys. We applaud the ongoing successes of many, but we also reflect on the ongoing loss endured by families and friends of riders we’ve lost, as well as remembering all jockeys who have suffered career-ending injuries. We hope days such as today remind all those impacted that they and their loved ones are remembered and remain in our thoughts.”
