Well I reckon everyone of them rode a winner, great family, a credit to their great Dad. #hawerarules

No doubt they all did that , while apprenticed to their famous kiwi dad Paddy Payne .

This is 5 of the 10 kids all about to go out in one race at Ballarat. The race made history . what might of happened.?

Not one of them won the race?

Com' on Chief . 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)

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.

Yeah, and the odd interloper tried getting a riding education there, so i heard.

Jesus, let's hope none of our Mick Dittmans hear that one, or it will become a regular in the stipes reports.
