Sweden's Lady Jockeys' Thoroughbred World Championship has been re-branded the Women Jockeys' World Cup, and will be contested this year on June 30 at Bro Park in Stockholm.
The event is designed to expand international opportunities for professional female jockeys and has attracted riders from as far afield as Hong Kong, New Zealand and South America.
Dennis Madsen, Svensk Galopp's Director of Racing, said, “We are looking forward to welcoming some of the world's most accomplished female riders to Sweden at the end of June for what is guaranteed to be another competitive event.
“Races for female jockeys have become a popular feature at Bro Park since the opening meeting in June 2016 when three of the races were dedicated to female riders, and we are delighted to have this opportunity to showcase the talent of female elite athletes from around the world and provide them with a platform to inspire future generations.”
