Rachel King, the jockey who emerged victorious in Group One races, is set to showcase her skills on the global platform as she represents Australia in the upcoming World All-Star Jockeys Series in Japan.
An announcement has been made confirming her participation among 14 esteemed riders who will compete in this thrilling two-day event.
Alongside Rachel King, renowned international superstars such as Joao Moreira, Christophe Lemaire, Yutaka Take, Yuga Kawada, and Umberto Rispoli will also grace the event with their presence.
King has ridden in four countries outside of Australia, and Japan will be the fifth.
"It's a great opportunity and something I'm really looking forward to," King said.
"To be given the chance to take part in such a wonderful series and ride against some of the best riders in the world is something I had to do.
"I can't wait to get over there and get amongst it."
Double The Fun: Four Races In Two Days
The series is scheduled to take place on August 26 and 27, spanning over two consecutive days.
Consisting of four races, two of which will be held on each day, the series determines the allocation of points according to the jockeys' finishing positions.
Notably, two Australian jockeys have triumphed in the series in the past. Craig Williams emerged victorious in 2007, while Zac Purton achieved this feat while representing Hong Kong in 2012.
