We saw Amy Jo Hayes win her Horse Racing Ireland ‘Ride of the Year Award’ last year and had been following her journey.  She’s a very impressive hard-working jockey and what better way to showcase her journey than through the lens of Irelands largest horse racing festival, where we love to champion and promote emerging talent. We invite you to join us on our social media channels as Amy Jo takes ‘the reigns’ and leads us into her world.”
