The races will see some familiar faces getting new roles.

Former Borrowdale apprentice jockey, O’Meara Rusike, who had stint in South Africa, has returned home. He has joined Tomcat Racing, with a view to becoming an assistant trainer.

The new season, which was supposed to begin on August 31, will see former assistant trainers, Vanessa Birketoft of Vee Racing and Debra Swanson of Swanson Racing, upgraded to full trainers.

They acquired their trainers licenses.

Seasoned jockey Rodgers Satombo, is now a fully-fledged jockey, after several years, as an apprentice.

Due to Covid-19 lockdowns, the last Borrowdale Park race meeting was on July 2, and it was the first meeting of the 2021/22 racing season.

There will be seven races on Sunday’s card.
