Mark Waugh


Racing identity and Australian Cricket legend, Mark Waugh has played in 128 test matches and 244 One Day Internationals. Mark is often nicknamed Junior as he is younger than his twin brother Steve by a few minutes. Mark is married to Kim Waugh and his love of racing seems appropriate as she is a very well credentialed trainer.

Dean Ritchie


For over 30 years Dean (Bulldog) Ritchie has been reporting on Rugby League for The Daily Telegraph. He has broken all the major stories and doesn’t hold back. Dean loves the Mid North Coast and is a visitor to our area every year. His first stop is the races at the Tuncurry Forster Jockey Club. His popularity at the races has earned him a section called “Deans Corner”.

Rachel King


Rachel King always wanted to be a jockey and while on a working holiday to England she rode 27 winners as an amateur on the flat over the jumps. But those wins meant she would never have a three-kilogram claim in Australia as an apprentice, so she had to do things the hard way. Rachel had her first Sydney ride in 2016 and her first major winner was with Stampede in 2017, also enjoying a major win on Dee I Cee in the Premier’s Cup. She became the first female jockey to compete in the worlds richest race on turf this year – the $15 million Everest.
