A spokesperson from Virgin Bet commented on the event, saying: “It was fantastic to be back at Ayr Racecourse last Saturday for the first-ever ‘Women’s Day’ sponsored by Virgin Bet,”
“Here at Virgin Bet, we love showcasing the good people who make sport what it is. That’s why we partnered with the brilliant Natalie Pike for our inaugural Women’s Day on the weekend, which saw female legends of the sport come together for a panel event on inclusivity and accessibility in racing.”
