Champion jockey William Pike has been inducted into the Western Australian Racing Hall of Fame, an honour that came just hours before he guided Western Empire to victory in the Belmont Sprint.
Hall of Fame Induction
The induction ceremony took place at Ascot Racecourse, where Pike was recognised for his outstanding contributions to the sport. Pike, a multiple Group 1 winner, has been a dominant figure in WA racing for over a decade.
Belmont Sprint Victory
Shortly after receiving the honour, Pike rode Western Empire to a commanding win in the Belmont Sprint. The performance further cemented his reputation as one of the state's finest jockeys.
Pike's career includes numerous feature race wins, and his consistency at the highest level has earned him widespread respect among peers and fans alike.
