Great Moments in Racing. Can you remember some

[Gammalite]

Well Racing is full of many wonderful moments . Many a worth a quick look again.

The trotting boys have All gone a bit 'Doom and Gloom'  , so lets 'Trot-Out' some good Galloping memories to quiz the smart galloping folk on instead !!!! 

should be fun I hope....

Here we go , for our first bit of trivia with a great photo !! ....

Question 1) Who is this lot ?

Question 2) What amazing feat did they achieve , that I don't think has been equalled ?

[Joe Bloggs]

Well bugger me, it's the Paynes.....

[Joe Bloggs]

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

Good post, my pick is we will be doing a lot more of this in the future than actually watching local racing.

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?

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.

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)  

[Joe Bloggs]

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.

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