Now a major motion picture starring Sam Neill In Life As I Know It,
Michelle Payne tells her deeply moving story. It will lift your
spirits, stir your heart and give you courage. Michelle was put on
a horse aged four. At five years old her dream was to win the
Melbourne Cup. At thirty she rode into history as the first female
jockey to win the Cup. It was a moment that inspired everyone who
dreams of beating the odds.
Michelle Payne rode into history as the first female jockey to win
the Melbourne Cup. She and her 100-to-1 local horse Prince of
Penzance took the international racing world by surprise but hers
was no overnight success story. Michelle was first put on a horse
aged four. At five years old her dream was to ride in the Melbourne
Cup and win it. By seven she was doing track work. All of the ten
Payne children learned to ride racehorses but Michelle has stayed
the distance. She has ridden the miles, done the dawn training,
fallen badly and each time got back on the horse. So when she
declared that anyone who said women couldn't compete in the
industry could `get stuffed', the nation stood up and cheered.
Michelle has the audacity to believe she can succeed against all
the odds. Her story is about hope triumphing over adversity, and
how resilience and character made a winner.
