JOCKEY CELEBRATION DAY The Victorian Jockeys Association (VJA) is proud of its relationship with the Victoria Racing Club (VRC). The VJA appreciates the support of the VRC in acknowledging “Jockey Celebration Day”, a day that provides an opportunity to reflect on the contribution and sacrifice made by our jockey cohort to Racing. VJA CEO Matt Hyland said: “On behalf of all jockeys riding in Victoria, sincere thanks to the VRC for recognizing Jockey Celebration Day. As we commence the new racing season today at Flemington, we take a moment to acknowledge the bravery, skills, commitment, dedication and good values of our jockeys. We thank our Victorian Racing Industry chaplain, Father Cameron Forbes, for providing a “Blessing of the Track” ceremony in the mounting yard after the running of Race 6 and wish all jockeys a safe journey as we commence the new season.”
