Chief Stipe Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 When someone asks this question my greatest moment comes to mind. Tried to find a picture of the moment from 2006 but couldn't but came across this picture - about the third time she has been sold. Rising 19 year old in this picture. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That could happen any week with a group of jockeys lol . was a nine horse field. Question 2 answer ) Patrick , Therese and Maree ran the Trifecta . Andrew and Bernadette Unplaced. But 1st time 3 siblings had run the trifecta in a TAB race. (might have happened somewhere else Oz or Nz but still a pretty rare event all the same) Here's the young Patrick setting an Australian record riding out his claim at 16 years old (first raced when just 13) Question 3 ) This photo shows Patrick with a BIG Jockey trophy after winning a BIG race in Sydney. What horse did the young apprentice Patrick ride to Win what race ? i(n a bit of an upset) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Bloggs Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 The Payne's certainly had their share of grief, their Mum was tragically taken in a car accident and arguably the best rider of them all, Brigid, died of a heart attack, talk about adversity to advantage, this family know all about that, gee Hawera was a great nursery. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
