SHIRLEY Anderson-Jolag will speak at a Women in Racing Ireland (WINR) networking event at Tattersalls Ireland on Tuesday, November 11th, the second day of the November NH Sale.

Shirley is sales manager for Tattersalls Jockey Club Sale and has been very involved in the development of the Cheltenham Sales. Last November she made history when she auctioned a number of foals at Tattersalls in Newmarket, believed to be the first time a woman has performed this role at a major bloodstock auction anywhere in the world.

Admission to the Tattersalls Ireland event is free for WINR members and €20 for non-members.

Attendees can participate in a series of interactive workshops throughout the day, with leading consignors generously giving their time to demonstrate what to look for when scouting for the next National Hunt star.

Also on the day WINR will launch its new annual membership packages. Memberships are available at €30 for full members and €15 for students, stud and stable staff.

New members can immediately avail of discounted offers with Connolly’s Red Mills online store, Weatherbys and Anna Healy career coaching.

The event will also mark the launch of WINR’s new website (womeninracing.ie).

Finally, WINR will unveil details of its 2025/’26 mentoring programme, continuing the organisation’s commitment to supporting, developing, and empowering women at all stages of their racing careers. The programme has become increasingly popular since its inception in 2022.

“We’re incredibly proud to be marking this exciting new chapter for WINR at Tattersalls Ireland,” said Nessa Joyce, chairperson of WINR. “Having Shirley Anderson-Jolag join us, alongside our valued consignors and industry supporters, makes this a truly special moment to celebrate progress, collaboration, and the future of women in racing.”
