The Manikato Stakes meeting marks a significant step in Ladbrokes Australia's new media partnership with Victorian-based broadcaster Racing.com.

Ladbrokes talent will be front and centre during the coverage of race clubs aligned with the corporate bookmaker.

Champion jockey Damien Oliver joined hosts Brittany Taylor and Nick Quinn to support Racing.com presenters at Moonee Valley.

Three-time Melbourne Cup-winning jockey Glen Boss will also be a key part of Ladbrokes’ line-up.

Oliver and Boss have been Ladbrokes’ brand ambassadors since retiring from the saddle.
