Nominations close Wednesday for Magic Millions Racing Women awards

Nominations for the 2027 Magic Millions Racing Women supported by TAB Achievement Awards close at midnight on November 11.

The winner in each of five state-based categories receives a $10,000 TAB scholarship. The categories cover Queensland, NSW and ACT, Victoria, Tasmania and South Australia, and WA and NT.

Women working anywhere in the thoroughbred industry, at any point in their career, are eligible, and they are assessed on their contribution to the state or territory where they live over the past 12 months. How a nominee intends to use the scholarship forms a key part of the judging.

Finalists will be named in December, and winners will be announced at an invitation-only dinner on the Gold Coast on Friday, January 8. The judging panel is Katie Page-Harvey, patron Zara Tindall, Gai Waterhouse, Denise Martin, Tabcorp’s Sophie Swain and Sky Racing presenter Bernadette Cooper.
