Carlisle seeks female amateurs for charity race

when every race is for female jockeys.
Competent riders interested in taking part are asked to email Sarah Oliver at

Brewer gets all-female night at Carlisle going
6:52PM 1 AUG 2011
Carlisle's all-female jockeys' night opened with victory for Freya Brewer on Newbury Street, who finished comfortably clear of the field in the 6f handicap.
The meeting has proved even more popular than its close-cousin, the ladies' day (or night), and is expected to attract over 10,000 to a meeting in which the feature race boasts prize-money of just £9,000.
Carlisle racecourse has lined up Alexandra Burke for post-racing entertainment. The meeting has been branded the 'The Ultimate Ladies' Night'.
While racing's highest-profile female jockey, Hayley Turner, misses the meeting to ride at Windsor, Carlisle has attracted several of the weighing room's finest, including Cathy Gannon and Kirsty Milczarek.
Two charities, Breast Cancer Care and Breast Cancer Campaign, have been chosen to benefit from a series of fundraising events and competitions throughout the night.
Sophie Doyle won the second race on Opus Maximus, but not before wondering on Twitter whether Carlisle would be prepared for an unusually slight collection of riders.
She tweeted: "Big question of the day, how much spare lead will @carlisle have to offer us light weight jocks???"
