The first female jockey to win the prestigious Melbourne Cup shares her story at a dinner in Camberwell.
In Life As I Know It, Michelle Payne tells her deeply moving story. It will lift your spirits, stir your heart and give you courage.
After the tragic death of her mother when she was only a baby, her father Paddy raised the eleven children. Like her siblings, Michelle took on the daily demands of racehorses and a dairy farm as well as school and work. Family meant everything.
Michelle was put on a horse aged four and at five years old her dream was to win the Melbourne Cup. At thirty, she rode into history as the first female jockey to win the Cup.
Her strapper was her brother, Stevie. So when she declared that anyone who said women couldn’t compete with men in the racing industry could ‘get stuffed’, the nation stood up and cheered.
It was a moment that inspired everyone who dreams of beating the odds. Come and meet a true hero.
