Wyong Race Club has increased their support for the Racing NSW & Equestrian Australia 2024 Equimillion Competition with 29 riders and 35 retired racehorses competing under the #teamwyong banner.

An initiative of Racing NSW, Equimillion will run from October 4 to 7 at the Sydney Equestrian Centre, with riders vying for $1 million in prizemoney.

The event will encompass eventing, jumping, dressage and show horse categories.

A number of local Wyong trainers have become involved in this year’s event, co-sponsoring #teamwyong, with each entrant requiring a $1100 nomination fee.

Sara Ryan [pictured left], Domeland, Kim Waugh, Allan Kehoe, Kristen Buchanan, Damien Lane, Tracey Bartley, John Cooper and Rod Bailey are all getting behind the horses and riders, along with Stonewall Equestrian Centre and Portable Horse Stables.

Retired horses previously under the care of a number of these trainers, will compete in this year’s Equimillion.

Wyong Race Club's Chief Executive, Greg Purcell said the club was again excited to throw their support behind such a great incentive.

“Like all racing participants we are very much behind animal welfare, and getting behind retired racehorses and the people who rehome them is a priority for our club,” he said.

“In its inaugural year in 2023 we sponsored six competitors who successfully competed and this year we’ve increased that number significantly thanks to the support of our local trainers. We are thrilled to be supporting such a talented group of equestrian riders.

“It is a great concept and will definitely create more awareness for people interested in rehoming racehorses.”

Among #teamwyong riders will be Wyong stablehands Jessica Rae, Kaliee Hickson, Samantha Harris, Jasmine Haydon, Lakisha Llewellyn and Georgie Bennett, along with local trainer Tina Williams, Allan Kehoe’s 14-year-old daughter Mia and Sara Ryan’s husband Will Matthew.

Information regarding all the #teamwyong horses will be posted on the club’s social media over the next few weeks - Wyong Race Club
