Outsider 'Prince of Penzance' wins the big race, with female jockey Michelle Payne riding into the history books (first female ever, to win Australia's biggest race).....
Me, loved that movie She is such and inspiration to me Firstly there mother passed ( I’m so sorry) The horse was in an a terrible condition And she was the women to win the Melbourne Cup Thank you
Came here after seeing the movie, Ride Like a Girl. Incredible story😊😊. An inspiration to all females out there. "What a man can do, we females can definitely do better" Thanks Michelle Payne, your story is so inspiring ❤️❤️.
Michelle Payne's family story is inspiring. The next year, her brother-in-law won, while in 2017 we saw the remarkable Joseph O'Brien train the winner, while his father, perhaps the world's top trainer today, had the runner-up.
It has been nearly 3 yrs since Michelle Payne won (the 1st female to win). I still get goose bumps watching this. How courageous inspiring. A tough choice of occupation for anyone, especially a young girl.
What a awesome race it was last year. I love that pre race over head shot. Amazing view. And those side on shots down the back of the course. Makes you feel like your riding in the cup yourself. Well down to Michelle Payne and Prince of Penzance. Both champions!
Just watched "Ride like a Girl"....it doesn't get more home grown than this, Teresa Palmer did an excellent job as Michelle, a great good feel story!....
This is just awesome!! the fact that Men and women race together is just a awesome and shows women can be competitive and can win just as men or better!!
I don't know if it's true or not, but apparently Michelle Payne let rip a massive stinky egg fart on the home straight and that threw the other jockeys off kilter
And those owners wanted to kick her off riding Prince Of Penzance as they didn't have the confidence that a woman could win!! Good on you Michelle, you showed them!!
I got blown away seeing this race live that night Michelle Payne history first woman to win the Cup so great! I watch this race over and over amazing how she got that horse out late to win!
Dave Wilson..Its obvious you live in USA..Michelle Payne is a good horse woman and a good well respected jockey here in AUS,but you have to be joking when you say she is one of the greatest jockeys of all time....Your making me laugh..
@@todmantodman he never said she was the greatest jockey of all time...what she achieved here was undeniably amazing, let the man appreciate this jockeys efforts and achievements
I start testing up every time I watch this race and Michelle Payne is a beautiful soul and a lovely person and I met her sister Bernadette Payne when I worked in a fruit shop in Adelaide Glenelg and she was a lovely person I get the impression that whole family are wonderful people loyal honest hard working people with respect dignity and humility and just humble love Anthony Fed ex lol
great achievement for womens jockeys in the greatest race in the world michelle payne congratulations yourve etched yourself in the guiness book of records you won against all odds wayne capper...
I just watched the movie ride like a girl and that actress who plays Michelle Payne she is absolutely wonderful such a great actress and she's so Beautiful she's actually excellent in every movie I've seen her in
Dave Wilson..Michell Payne one of the greatest jockeys of all time...thats got to be a joke right.....great effort and great ride from Michelle..but please dont make silly statements like that..
Your a absolute legend Michelle Payne you knew that horse was a two miler when you rode him as a three year old and knew that horse inside out and what a finish and a peach of a ride love Anthony Fed ex lol
👨💻💭YES Ride like a Girl 🏇 Movie brought me here 2020 we as onlookers never knew about her falls or life , This movie opens your eyes we all have our pain & falls in life but One day michelle won melbourne cup 1st lady in history That's going straight to the pool room🏆 good wishes to michelle & family 🦘🐨👍💚cheers🏇🏇🏇🏇🏇🏇🏇🏇🏇🏇🏇🏇🏇🏇🏇🏇🏇🏇🦘💭🏆 🐨 STRAYA👍 Michelle Payne: Get Stuffed To Everyone Who Thought Women Weren't Strong Enough - WE JUST BEAT THE WORLD 🛠 💚❤💚
It was brilliant composed the way she extracted herself away from the fence b4 the home turn ,2,3 4 away from barrier ..waited …then wosshka ,,Thats Champ 🤫🤫🤫
I wonder how many electric shocks Weir the grub gave the horse, he looked like he was ready to go around again. Lol the whole crowd was just stunned $100/1 shot , they didnt know how to react
Can someone tell me why we applaud and congratulate the jockey? It's like drag racing sports cars and congratulating the driver, not the engineers or the mechanics.
Tully ... most of the post-race interview was the jockey expressing thanks to the trainers, owners, strapper, etc so your question is somewhat redundant.
Tully the jokey’s job is to give the horse the best opportunity to win, so getting them into a good position and knowing when to save energy etc... they don’t just sit there and hold on lol
Great ride from Michelle Payne to win the cup,was a great result for the girls and the bookies..Its unfair to say Prince of Penzance had all the luck,but in all honesty there were a number of bad luck interference stories in the race which all contributed to a shock result..
She had a little bit of luck when that gap opened in the straight, but she had already steered the horse off the fence to take advantage of the gap. Damion Oliver couldn't have done better.
I just saw "ride like a girl", at first I was praying it's not one feminist propaganda movie. Then, I got into it, teared up when she thought her dad died. Then, when she burst through that space, I went bonkers!! I had to watch the last 600m of the race several times...Lol, and was freaking proud of her as she passed the other jockeys!!! What a great moment!! I was very proud of her, I just wonder how proud her family would have been, just incredible!!!
Well I was as shocked as anyone when this horse won but it must have been a bigger shock for the poor old horse with the jigger rammed up his arse all the way down the straight!
Agreed...watch ascot in perth group 1 winterbottom stakes 2018 voodoo lad (who i was on) came from nowhere. Of course trained by the one and only... Yeh the coin was a good return but just more proof this melb cup was a complete farce. But will never be put into a movie
The worst run cup ive ever seen taking nothing away from the winner but Frankie took half the field out as usual no favours in Aust mate, but never seen them walk for 3000m. Wonder how many times he was jigged the night before. ?.
100/1 shot beat the World. He would have gone around again she never touched him, but he prob got jigged the night before, only down side Darren Weir has a Cup.
