Sitting members, chairman Nick Rule and long-serving committee member Peter Lynch, were re-elected while Michael McCluskey, who put up his hand for one of the four vacancies, missed out.
Former chairman Marg Lucas and Bill Slattery stood down after years on the committee at the annual general meeting on Thursday.
Rule said Ludeman and Ryan brought another layer of professionalism to the committee.
“I congratulate Michael for standing,” he said.
“It’s always difficult when five people stand for four positions.
“The club encourages any member to put their hand up when a committee vacancy occurs.
“Dallas and Kate bring fresh blood to the committee and with that comes new ideas.
“They are both successful in their working careers and are passionate about racing which is really positive for the club moving forward.”
The club hosts its Oaks Day meeting on Thursday, November 8.
