THE INGHAM DAY

Saturday 10 December

 

The Ingham Day, a charity raceday, is one of the must-attend Royal Randwick occasions featuring the inaugural running of the Group 2 $2 million The Ingham (formerly Villiers Stakes) which honours global icons of horse racing Mr Bob Ingham AO and Mr Jack Ingham AO. This raceday will also feature the $500,000 Inglis Nursery race.

 

Bob and Jack were founding beneficiaries of the Ingham Institute for Applied Medical Research which the raceday will support. The Institute’s world-leading research in robotics, medical devices and health technologies is transforming the way we prevent, diagnose and treat disease, now and for generations to come.
