Hawkesbury Race Club is excited to announce the two sponsorship recipients to the Racing NSW & Equestrian Australia 2024 Equimillion Competition exclusively for retired NSW Thoroughbred racehorses!

HRC is committed to providing sponsorship to two recipients, to the value of $1,100 per rider, to cover the cost of their nomination ($600+GST) and their competition fee ($400+GST).

The club was delighted with the quality of the applications received, all of which were of exceptionally high quality.

It's clear that there is strong support for Off The Track thoroughbreds in the Hawkesbury region.

We are pleased to announce that the two lucky recipients of the HRC Equimillion sponsorships are: Poppie Gorton & Brooke Somers

Poppie is a pre-apprentice jockey for Brad Widdup and was succesful in the Junior Eventing division at the 2023 Equimillion competition. She will compete this year again as a Junior in the Eventing discipline.

Brooke was also successful in last year's competition, winning the 95 Division. Brooke is a Hawkesbury local and currently rides trackwork for Blake Ryan. She will compete as an Amateur in the Eventing discipline.

We wish Poppie and Brooke all the best on their journey to the 2024 Equimillion Equestrian competition. Good luck to all competitors!
