Ten years since Michelle Payne rode Prince Of Penzance to victory in the Melbourne Cup.Becoming the first female to ride the winner of the great race. The changing of the tide!!
Ten years on, 2025 Melbourne cup winner, Half Yours, win the race. Ridded by Jamie Melham. Becoming the second female to ride the winner of the great race.
But Melham has gone one step further, she also rode the same horse a few weeks back to be the first female to ride the winner of the Caulfield Cup.
She now is Caulfield cup winner and Melbourne ccup winner.
I a no horse racing fan or punter, but love watching the big races.
A great effort from Melham, and according tho Glenn Boss, one of the great Aussie jockeys, she rode a great race.
Well done Jamie.

It will be dominated by the girls in time as the boys are just getting bigger & heavier each generation.
I thought the footage of the race was terrible, at least half of it shot from a vehicle on an inside sand track. I reckon the worst coverage of the Melbourne Cup I’ve ever seen. But at least Eddie Maguire got to tick one more thing off his bucket list.
