'I'm truly thankful for this opportunity,' Abigail beamed. 'Being chosen among many talented jockeys is humbling. This partnership is just the start for me. It proves that hard work pays off, and I hope other female jockeys see me as proof that dreams can come true in this male-dominated sport. I'm forever grateful,' she added.
For Abigail, this collaboration signifies more than just a sponsorship deal. It symbolises a stride forward in her relentless pursuit of excellence both on and off the racetrack. Aswanda Stoddart, AVP Administration at Supreme Ventures Racing and Entertainment Limited, operators of Caymanas Park, was pleased with yet another corporate entity investing in the sport.
"Partnerships like this are vital for the continuation of the sport and are a vote of confidence to show that we are on the right path in bringing you the best in sporting entertainment at the highest of standards. Last year, a few of our jockeys entered into endorsement deals, and we’re pleased to welcome Bearings and Accessories as our newest partner. This partnership is extra special as it is our first female jockey being signed. Congratulations Abigail!" she exclaimed.
Raymond Rousseau, Chairman of Bearings and Accessories Limited, expressed his admiration for Abigail's exemplary conduct both as a rider and an individual. "I'm truly impressed by her humility.
