Michelle Payne

[Danger Mouse]

Best female jockey in the land. If she was a he, then she would be scooping up many of the plumb rides in town. Shame this extreme talent is going to waste!

As good as any rider male or female going around right now, make no mistake!

Someone has a crush on her.

The only thing going to waste is the time it takes to read your verbal jack over Michelle Payne. I want my 60 seconds back.

 

[Ricketts]

She's one of the best
If only Mick Kent would take her back.

I love Michelle Payne and rate her in the top 10 jockeys in the country.

Love her on a gelding 4 or older over 1600 to 2400. Shes got amazingly soft hands, gets horses to relax but at the same time can hit one bloody hard when needed.

I remember when she was still a 3kg claimer, she was riding work for the stable I was at and was even then the best rider in the stable for times, if you wanted her to 13's she'll go 13's, if you wanted 13.2 she'll go 13.2.
That and shes not a bad sort.

I dont wont to disagree with u as usual DM but Clare Lindop is a better rider than payne i would have lindop over alot of male jockeys

beriman isnt far behind them...beriman was apprentice to my uncle and he teached her to ride so i follow her....and she is one of the only jockeys in australia...that if u backed her each way in every ride she had u would be up...that was tru around 2 months ago not sure now...2nd behind paul harvey from W.A

Lindop is one of the worst riders in Australia. She got luck with some owners in SA but is riding against monkeys, so much so that its the main reason why I don't bet in SA these days. their best riders have all left and you're stuck with Australia's worst jockeys.

Michelle Payne has been huge for women riders, I can't remember the last female rider who could get a full book every sat'day in Melbourne, Michelle does and she rides a fair few winners.
People were going on about Lindop riding for Cummings, she had 1 ride yes it was in the cup but they couldn't find any other jockey who could ride at that weight and IIRC Michelle was serving a few weeks at the time.
Michelle also rides for Bart, look at God's Hand, she suits that horse better than any other rider, I think shes 1 from 3 or 4 with the worst result being a 4th.

If Lindop was any good she'll move to Vic to try to make it here, but she knows that 1 she'll have to get past the best female rider to even break even.
Kathy O in Sydney is another female rider I rate much higher than Lindop.

Also if you want to make a bit of money on the w/ends, Lay every Lindop runner under $10 on betfair, you'll make a killing.

GOLD!!!

At least you didn't go with brained

 

[brooklynbute]

1. shes better looking and really nice
2. y would u move if u ride every single macdonald runner who its pretty much the leading trainer over there

i agree she rides against propeller heads but i rate her highly..and dont bag her for just getting one ride for cummings in the cup....that was a gem of a ride gave it every possible....i would rather back beriman over both of them anyway so y argue...

but payne did win me a small fortune when she rode fair trade at its first start

Hi all

I'm new to this forum, and a big fan of Michelle Payne, does anyone know if she has split with Michael Kent, and if so, why?

I don't know if u ever found out but Payne and Kent were in a relationship hence why she was given all the good rides of his. (Yes i know, significant age difference )

They broke up for a while and she didn't ride much for him but shortly after they got back together and things went back to how they had been. They then broke up again and have stayed apart and she hasn't ridden for him since.

This is 100% true. Ask anyone in the Melbourne racing industry, they'll back up my story.

I think the word you were after was taught, not teached.

I'm sorry but you're full of the brown stuff!

I worked in racing stables, I worked with Michelle when she was 16, I have since worked as a racing photographer for the past 3 years.
I know all the Paynes, Michelle very well and can tell you she has been with Mark Zahra now for about 5 years.

She has a friendship with Michael Kent, nothing more. It was the owners that wanted her off after a bad ride or two.

All the Paynes are friends with the Kents.

Looks like this one slipped past you then. It is 100% true. And she hasn't been with Mark for that long. She's only been with him for half the time you said.

She is a friend of mine and i can guarantee you that i'm not lying.

You're a friend yet you make shit like this up on a forum?

I've known her since she was 16, when she came to melbourne to ride work for Matty Ellerton.

I've know all her family, Stevie inc. I've known Cathy since my ex-GF was over here riding, in fact I watched Brews Melbourne cup win with Cathy, Michelle & my ex Laura.

Why on earth would you make up such rubbish?
