点评:Since its inception I have always wanted to attend the unique all Female Jockeys card that the course hosts. This year I made it.
The meeting also forms the course's annual Ladies Night. There is entertainment after racing. The meeting is extremely busy so shuttle buses are put on so getting back to Carlisle city centre after racing is easy.
Viewing is good, a big screen shows the action and is necessary for the two parts of the course not seen from the stands due to the hilly nature of the track.
As a big supporter of female jockeys it was great that the jockeys were only too pleased to stop for photographs, chats and autographs.
A downside is that the meeting is now advertised as being for over 18s only thus preventing young girls from being able to see what they can achieve in the sport.
A great pleasure to be there and to meet Faye McManoman.
翻译:自从这项赛事创办以来,我就一直想去观看卡莱尔赛马场举办的独一无二的全女子骑师赛。今年我终于如愿以偿。
这场赛事同时也是卡莱尔赛马场一年一度的“女士之夜”。赛后还有娱乐活动。由于赛马场人潮涌动,所以安排了接驳巴士,方便赛后返回卡莱尔市中心。
观赛体验很棒,大屏幕实时播放比赛画面,这对于看台上看不到的两段赛道来说至关重要,因为赛道地势起伏。
作为女子骑师的忠实支持者,我很高兴看到骑师们非常乐意停下来与人合影、聊天和签名。
美中不足的是,现在这项赛事只对18岁以上人士开放,这使得年轻女孩们无法亲眼见证她们在赛马运动中能够取得的成就。
很高兴能来到这里,并见到费伊·麦克马诺曼。
