Cup and Show week has wound down to a close. And what a week it was, especially for the girls.
It started the week earlier with Michelle Payne on Prince of Penzance becoming the 1st female jockey to win the Melbourne Cup. Along with her brother and strapper, Stevie and their eight siblings, the win became an extraordinary family story.
The following week, women dominated with:
- Kerryn Manning becoming the 1st female driver to win the New Zealand Trotting Cup
- Lisa Allpress on Jimmy Mac winning the 152nd New Zealand Cup
- Sam Spratt on Addictive Habit winning the Couplands Bakery Mile
