Joining us on the podcast is expatriate Kiwi jockey Jason Collett who rode 94 winners last season, against a powerful line up of NSW jockeys. Jason’s parents were jockeys, his Uncle Jim was one of New Zealand’s best riders, his two sisters have ridden Group 1 winners, and his cousin Samantha has ridden more than 600 winners. Jason also holds the distinction of being the very first jockey to win on Winx.

We chat with a lady who has never let go of her dream. Melbourne based Victoria Shaw has been trying to find a livelihood as a race caller for more than twenty years. She has had to be content with guest appearances all over the world, building up a strong fan base along the way.

Twenty nine year old Kerry Ann Turner realised a dream recently, when she was crowned champion NSW trainer for the 2017/18 season. Kerry grew up in the Riverina where trotting is almost compulsory, and has climbed to the upper echelon of trainers and drivers in her home state.
