    Well I’m a chump. Last night I wondered to myself “has a female jockey ever won the Melbourne Cup?”. Now considering I never think about horse racing from one end of a decade to another – this was a pretty unusual thing to wonder about.

    And if I’d the brains of a newt I’d have put down $100 on her horse and been $7900 better off this evening.

    Now here is the really cool thing; Michelle Payne actually grew up locally here in Ballarat and she’s a close friend of one of my partner’s staff. She’s ecstatic as you can imagine. Michelle has had to battle her way to this:
