Moonee Valley Racing Club respectfully acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of this land, the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung people of the Kulin Nation, and pay our respects to its Elders past, present and emerging. WELCOME TO LADBROKES FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS FOR SPRING AT THE VALLEY. It’s a busy period of spring and summer racing, with five consecutive Friday night meetings coming up before two Saturday meetings to round out December. Tonight’s card features two heats of The Road to the Jericho, a true staying test over 3850m, and a lead-up to the Jericho Cup at Warrnambool on Sunday, 3rd December. This Jericho Cup was revived in 2018 to mark the 100th anniversary of the original race won by Bill The Bastard, regarded as one of Australia’s greatest war horses. Our Cheering For Charity partner for this evening is Team Taylor Foundation. The Foundation was established in 2018 in loving memory of Taylor Henry, who passed away aged 13 from Myocarditis, raising awareness of the disease and funds to assist in research. It’s Heat 5 of the Ladbrokes 55 Second Challenge. Shirshov is still the one to catch from the opening night, with the Julien Welsh gelding having set a slick time of 54.64 for the 955m. It will be a terrific night of racing and entertainment and I look forward to seeing you again next Friday at The Valley. CHAIR ADAM LENNEN CHAIR’S WELCOME
