Kyra Yuill became the first female jockey to take out WA’s premier staying event the Perth Cup, this year being run on News Years Eve Day instead of the traditional New Years Day. Kyra has done a remarkable job as an apprentice and to win the Cup on the Bob and Sandra Peters owned Western Jewel, the moment would have been all the more special.

Kyra Yuill has conducted herself with great grace and dignity throughout her Apprenticeship and would have to be one of WA’s role models for all Apprentice jockeys at a time when many seem to be wasting many opportunities due to many social interferences.

As an organisation we would like to praise Kyra for all her hard work and wish her all the best for the future!
