THE line-up for the inaugural Lady Jockeys’ Thoroughbred World Championship has added three more top riders representing Ireland, Britain and Denmark at Bro Park, Stockholm on Tuesday July 4th.

Ana O’Brien is the Irish ace who has added her name to the list of renowned female jockeys travelling to Sweden for the event backed by Benny Andersson’s Chess Racing, the racing and breeding operation founded by the former ABBA star.

The competition will be played out over five races on an eight-race evening card, and will take on stars from four continents, Asia, Europe, North America and Australasia.

O’Brien has already notched up a win at Europe’s newest racecourse, riding Irish-bred Hi Finn to victory at Bro Park on its opening day in 2016.

Dubai Duty Free Shergar Cup star Sammy Jo Bell, who was part of the victorious Girls team in 2015, will ride for Britain. Returning to racing this year from a major injury that ruled her out for 10 months, Bell has made a promising start to her season.

Sara Slot, Denmark’s first female group winner, has also confirmed her attendance. Slot has ridden in Britain, USA, New Zealand and Australia, in addition to racing regularly throughout Scandinavia and partnering Benny Andersson’s mare Vigelegere to victory in the Breeders’ Cup Trial at Klampenborg.

The trio will join Chantal Sutherland (Canada), Danielle Johnson (New Zealand), Kei Chiong (Hong Kong), Stefanie Hofer (Germany) and Fanny Olsson (Sweden) among the 10 riders taking part.
