RISING Stars champion Ellen Rixon is the newly appointed ambassador for the New South Wales Standardbred Owners Association (NSWSOA).
Rixon, the daughter of trainer-drivers Peter and Cindy Rixon as well as the granddaughter of the legendary A.D. Turnbull, is currently ranked as one of the leading reinswomen in New South Wales this season.
With this opportunity, the 18-year-old will be raising money for a charity of her choice.
