🏇 FAREWELL JAKE & WELCOME BEN! 🏇
A little late in sharing this one, but certainly not any less deserving of recognition! 💙
On 2 October, we officially farewelled Jake Jess, who retired after 21 years of outstanding service as our Track and Facilities Manager.
Jake’s dedication, passion and attention to detail have left a lasting mark on the Warracknabeal Racing Club. A true perfectionist and highly respected figure in the racing industry, Jake took immense pride in maintaining our track and facilities to the highest standard.
From the countless hours spent caring for the course to the behind-the-scenes jobs that often went unnoticed, his contribution has been exceptional. His knowledge and generosity in sharing his expertise have also benefited racing clubs and track managers throughout the Wimmera.
Jake, thank you for 21 years of hard work, dedication and service. Our club is all the better for your contribution, and your legacy will be appreciated for many years to come. We wish you and your family all the very best as you enjoy this well-earned retirement!
As we farewell Jake, we are delighted to welcome Ben as our new Track and Facilities Manager! 👏
Ben, we wish you every success as you begin this new chapter with the Warracknabeal Racing Club. We look forward to seeing you thrive in the role and help carry our club forward into the future.
Please join us in thanking Jake for his incredible service and giving Ben a warm welcome to the club! 🏇
