Chloe's hoping for Roaring success in Graham Lee charity race at Thirsk
Assistant Trainer Chloe Dods is looking forward to riding in the second running of the Graham Lee Injured Jockeys' Fund charity race at Thirsk tomorrow (Friday July 25).
Chloe goes to post on one of her favourite horses, Roaring Ralph, for the hands-and-heels race over a mile.
Chloe is up against 10 other employees from racing yards in the race, sponsored by Sky Bet.
The riders will be ‘led up’ by professional jockeys, with all participants having agreed to meet the minimum sponsorship obligation of £500.
Chloe and Roaring Ralph will be led up by Paul Mulrennan, who has given the yard some of its biggest successes on the likes of Mecca's Angel, Mabs Cross, and Northern Express.
Last year’s race raised £20,000 for the Injured Jockeys Fund, specifically to provide for the future needs of Graham, who was left with life-changing injuries after a fall at Newcastle in November, 2023.
The 49-year-old rode with great success under both codes, winning the 2004 Grand National on Amberleigh House and the 2015 Gold Cup at Royal Ascot on Trip To Paris.
Race organiser Adele Mulrennan said: “The Sky Bet Graham Lee IJF charity race is a chance for jockeys to show their support for stable staff in a unique twist of roles.
"It also gives them an opportunity to get involved with some fundraising for Graham – and the race has been so well supported again this year. I look forward to seeing who wins this year’s bespoke saddle and, even better, Graham will be in attendance.”
Michael Shinners of Sky Bet said: “This is a real highlight of the Go Racing In Yorkshire Summer Festival and Sky Bet is delighted to be supporting the race once again. Last year's renewal was a great success, raising a lot of money for a wonderful charity. I am sure all the participants will have a brilliant day.”
Chloe said: "This is such a great initiative to support Graham and his family through the Injured Jockeys Fund. Graham rode for us a few times and it's lovely to see how the racing community has rallied round him. Hopefully, Roaring Ralph will give me a good spin!"
