Sky Racing is thrilled to be showcasing their impressive stable of female on-air talent with a female-led lineup taking over the network, including Sky Racing 1, Sky Racing 2 and Thoroughbred Central on International Women’s Day, this Friday.

With over a dozen female presenters involved in the coverage Tabcorp’s Managing Director – Wagering and Media, Adam Rytenskild said he was looking forward to the special broadcast.

“Sky’s female presenter list has grown significantly in recent years and we’re proud to have these incredibly talented women from such diverse backgrounds within the industry represent our company and our continued commitment to gender equality across the entire Tabcorp organisation,” Rytenskild said.
