Gold Coast sex worker Carly Electric has carved out a unique niche for herself.
The blonde bombshell has revealed in an exclusive interview on Racenet that she believes she’s the only sex worker in the Australian racing industry.
Electric is currently in the ownership group of three racehorses in Bjorn Baker-trained sprinter Iowna Merc and Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott-trained Greyt Thinker.
She added that she “definitely has a lot of clients inside the racing industry”, revealing she charges clients $2500 for “a race day experience” or $10,000 for a weekend with her.
“A line I use a lot with clients is that ‘I’m your best bet’ – bookies surely don’t need everyone’s cash,” Electric said in the Racenet interview.
“From my understanding, I am the only sex worker in the horse racing industry, let alone a sex worker who can do form and owns horses.
“I am the first, but I won’t be the last.”
Electric said her unique niche has seen the Melbourne-born regularly flown around the country, as well as taking clients to the likes of Melbourne Cup and Victoria Derby day.
Electric said her interest in the horseracing industry went back to her school days in Melbourne as she went to a school where champion trainer Lee Freedman was a school dad.
She also developed a subscription-based tipping service called TNT Punting, after finding most punting groups were “boys’ clubs”.
It was through this that she decided to buy horses.
Electric said she felt accepted in the racing industry and that the sport had come a long way for women.
