A star-studded line up has been announced for the annual Tanyia Harris OAM Lady Drivers Invitational.

The Invitational joins an exciting race program showcasing Fillies and Mares this Saturday (May 2) for Pacing For Pink, which will see Club Menangle turn pink in support of the McGrath Foundation.

Named in honour of Tanyia Harris OAM, the $20,000 event has become a sought-after feature for reinswomen, with 10 selected to compete in the penalty-free race for horses with a national rating up to 80. 

“Coutts Pacing For Pink race night has made its mark on the Australasian racing calendar and we are excited to have this invitational race feature on the night,’’ says David Wonson, the general manager for racing operations at Club Menangle.

“The 2026 edition has attracted another talented lineup of drivers who will don the pink driving pants in support of the McGrath Foundation,’’ he said.

The following 10 drivers have been invited by Club Menangle to compete in the 2026 Tanyia Harris OAM Lady Drivers Invitational: Amanda Turnbull, Ashleigh Delosa, Chloe Formosa, Grace Panella, Kerryann Morris, Phoebe Betts, Sofia Arvidsson, Stephanie Morris, Taylah Osmond and Zara Fitzpatrick.

Off the track, guests will be welcomed in style by a pink doorman on pink carpet before enjoying tribute band FABBA performing all the ABBA classic hits throughout the night.

Aussie Night Markets will be back with food trucks, specialty stalls and carnival rides. Patrons will also have the chance to win $2000. General Admission entry is free to the Coutts Pacing for Pink race night.
