Barbara turned heads at our last meeting with an original headpiece she handmade herself, inspired by none other than Elizabeth Taylor in The Mirror Crack’d.

We love seeing the effort and creativity that goes into race day looks. You nailed it Barbara!

Excited to share the completion of the PVC railing project at Ballina Jockey Club! The old red railing has now been replaced with a sleek and durable white PVC railing, enhancing safety for both horses and riders while improving our facilities. A huge thank you to Racing NSW and Racing NSW Country for their generous funding and support in making this project possible. The new MawSafe PVC railing is another step forward for country racing!
