I went to see this movie last week with a couple of friends. They were keen to see it and I went along, it wasn't a movie that I was that fussed about going to see but I did enjoy it in the end.
It is about the life of Michelle Payne, the first female jockey to win the Melbourne Cup. She was the tenth child and her mother dies in a car accident when she was six months old. Dad was a horse trainer and all the kids bar one grew up to be jockey, two boys and seven girls. The other boy Stevie had Down Syndrome and he played himself in the movie.
It was more about how she had to make her way in what had been a very male dominated sport.
