Resilience, leadership and courage to ride through the highs and the lows
I have made connection and relationships with people from all walks of life.
Racing has taken me all over the world traveling and riding in different countries. I have also been so lucky to race throughout Australia at some of our premier race-meetings such as the Melbourne Cup Carnival, the Golden Slipper, the Queensland Oaks, the Tasmanian Cup’s, the Darwin Cup, and Ascot in Perth. I have also ridden at many country and far-flung bush meetings, and the best part about this is the diversity of people I have met.
“Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you'll land among the stars.”
