Michelle Payne: Legendary Australian jockey
Michelle Payne was born in 1985 in Ballalt, Australia. When she was young, her mother died in a traffic accident, she grew up with her father, and at the age of 7 she set herself the goal of becoming a champion jockey, telling her best friend that she would one day become the winner of the Melbourne Cup. Everyone thought she was joking, because the racecourse at the time was a world dominated by men.
In 2009, Payne won the First Class Troorak Handicap, the thousand guineas in 2010, and in 2015, she won the Gold Cup at the 155th Melbourne Cup RaceHorse, becoming the first female jockey in history to win the Melbourne Cup. Realized her childhood dream!
But in May 2016, the 30-year-old Payne accidentally fell off his horse in a game and was seriously injured. At that time, it was still unknown whether she would be able to return to the field again. Payne's horse crash nearly ended her horse racing career. Later, despite Payne's good recovery, the owner of "Prince Penzance" ended working with her considering that her injury might have an impact on later matches.
But the effort paid off, and Payne returned to the field in September of the same year with strong perseverance, and won the "birds of tokyo" in the coleraine bendigo bank cup!
Payne's legend was later adapted into the movie "Horse Racing Girl".
Remember such a dialogue in the movie "Ruan Lingyu". Tang Jishan, a rich businessman, teased: "You women have stood up, and we men have fallen." Fei Mu, who was listening from the sidelines, replied gently: "Women stand up, it does not mean that men must fall, everyone can stand together, this world is big enough." ”
The world is wide enough for boys to have great dreams and girls to prove themselves. Ride like a girl, who can also win the championship, is equally proud.
