Episode 504: Adam Hyeronimus

Good to catch up with a young jockey who's forged a prominent spot among the powerful Sydney riding ranks in recent years. The Waterhouse/Bott duo supply regular rides to Adam Hyeronimus  in recognition of his unrelenting work ethic. He currently has 4 Gr 1 winners on his CV along with numerous stakes wins. We were able to pin Adam down last week for a lengthy chat about the early days of his apprenticeship and the road he's since travelled.  He begins by referencing the wonderful support he receives from Tulloch Lodge. Adam says he's no natural lightweight and needs to watch his diet at all times. It's well known that Adam descends from a family of jockeys on both sides of his pedigree. He pays tribute to those who've preceded him.  Adam makes special mention of his maternal grandfather the late Reg Paine, a former legend on western districts tracks. He also acknowledges the deeds of uncles Neil and Rodney Paine, both talented riders in their own right. He explains that two of his cousins are married to high profile jockeys. The popular jockey looks back on early days at Cowra when he gained expert riding tuition from a local trainer. He talks about a succession of trainers with whom he spent parts of his apprenticeship. Adam clearly recalls his first ever race ride at Bathurst in 2008. He looks back on his time with Grafton trainer John Shelton who supplied his first winning ride. Adam takes no credit for the win. With Shelton's support Hyeronimus decided to finish his apprenticeship in Sydney. He had a short time with Jason Coyle before transferring to Gai Waterhouse. He says it was a long time before Gai found him a job. Adam received an immense thrill when he was able to win the inaugural Kosciuszko for his old boss John Shelton. He talks affectionately of the veteran bush gelding Belflyer. He'd been having back problems before he was dislodged from a horse at Randwick on Everest day 2019. The harmless tumble exacerbated his problems to the extent that he was sidelined for 3 months. Adam recalls how close he went to opening his Gr 1 account on outsider Prince Fawaz in the Rosehill Guineas. He gave Castelvecchio a big fright. He says he didn't have to wait long to get the Gr 1 monkey off his back. Just one week later he led all the way to win the Vinery Stud Stakes for Waterhouse/Bott on Shout The Bar. Many people in racing address Adam by the nickname of “Hippo”. He explains how and when his well known sobriquet originated. The jockey looks back on the lowest point in his career- the prolonged investigation into his betting activities which would see him banned for two years and four months. He talks of the impact it had on his life and the time he spent in outside employment. Adam says his weight soared during the long layoff. He talks of his change in attitude after such a major disruption to his livelihood. Hyeronimus was chuffed to win his second Gr 1 on the gutsy filly Tropical Squall for his greatest supporters. The talented jockey was grateful to receive a top Gr 1 ride from the Godolphin organisation in the Spring Champion Stakes. He rode Tom Kitten perfectly to win the important three year old race.  Adam was thrilled to win another Gr 1 on the genuine filly Tropical Squall. He talks of his short but successful association with the imposing colt Storm Boy who's now in training with Aidan O'Brien at Ballydoyle. A Magic Millions win was a huge thrill for the jockey. Adam talks of his near miss on Lady Of Camelot in the Blue Diamond Stakes. He thought he was home. A good chat with a young horseman whose future looks assured in the fiercely competitive Sydney jockey's room.

On August 5, 1944, the Cowra breakout marked a significant event in Australian military history. Over 1,100 Japanese prisoners of war attempted to escape from the prisoner of war camp in Cowra, New South Wales, resulting in the largest prison break in Australian history. The breakout led to a violent confrontation between the prisoners and Australian guards, resulting in the deaths of 231 Japanese prisoners and four Australian soldiers, with many more wounded. The incident highlighted the challenges of managing prisoners of war during wartime and left a lasting impact on both Australian and Japanese societies. The Cowra breakout has since been commemorated through various memorials and remains a poignant reminder of the human cost of war.TW: Suicide.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/weird-crap-in-australia--2968350/support.

Michael Cahill had his first race ride on Red Affro at an obscure race meeting at Gooloogong in 1979. The horse ran second but Michael says he was beaten by pilot error. Since then he's ridden with great skill to land a stunning total of 2600 winners in 4 jurisdictions. He's coming up 59, and would love to ride in races until age 60. In our recent interview he talks about the style his late father Ossie helped him to develop during his apprenticeship at Cowra. Michael explains his reason for wearing two sets of goggles when riding in races. He says rides are still plentiful but the good opportunities are not what they used to be. Michael looks back on a simple fall on the Sunny Coast in December 2021 which sidelined him for seven months. Remarkably he rode a winner at Doomben on his first day back. He says he had a good run for nine months before another race fall halted his progress. This time he was back in a month. Michael takes us back to early days at Cowra NSW when he and brother Matthew were apprenticed to their father Ossie. He says their careers were carefully guided. The talented jockey has never forgotten the occasion of his first race win at Orange on Melbourne Cup day 1980. He reflects on the dedication of his mother Margaret who had the job of driving him to race meetings all over the western districts. Michael talks of his sister Kathryn who combines her day job with the training of a small team of horses. The veteran jockey pays a final tribute to his father. He recalls a win at Canterbury on a Cowra trained horse which led to an approach from a very high profile trainer. Michael looks back on the highs and lows of his short stint in Sydney. He looks back on his two and a half years as track rider and race jockey for media icon Mike Willesee based at the Transmedia Park Stud at Cootamundra. Not surprisingly Michael came under the notice of the late Richard Freyer who had attained legendary status in the Riverina. He took the job and rode 70 winners in 18 months for the Freyer stable. Tired of bitterly cold winters, Michael jumped at the opportunity to ride at the Grafton and Coffs Harbour carnivals. He says the warmer climate changed his future plans. He looks back on a surprise offer from leading Queensland trainer Bruce McLachlan. Michael says he changed direction again when Gerald Ryan offered him a plum job on the Gold Coast. The jockey talks of his marriage to former English riding instructor Maxine Harris. He looks back on his first overseas riding contract in Singapore, and pays tribute to some top NZ jockeys who were there at the same time. Michael pays tribute to the brilliant Falvelon. He has no doubt the son of Alannon was the fastest horse he's ever ridden. Soon after his Doomben $10,000 win on Falvelon Michael accepted an offer to ride in Hong Kong. He talks of a first up win for John Moore. The jockey looks back on the circumstances that took him to Macau where he enjoyed a golden run. Michael talks of his Brisbane premiership win, and a narrow defeat in another. He talks of a Stradbroke win in 2005 for his great supporter Bevan Laming. Michael remembers wins in a Magic Millions 2YO Classic and a Winter Stakes now known as the Tatts Tiara. He remembers his nine rides on Victorian stayer Natural Blitz for trainer Doug Harrison. Michael talks of his association with NZ trainer Tony Pike which brought him a five win sequence on The Bostonian. The jockey reflects on a couple of stakes wins in Sydney, and a long list of Queensland black type wins. Michael talks of younger brother Matthew's recent return from injury. Former jockey Shane Dye has been very vocal lately about modern day jockey safety vests. He believes there are flaws in the design and Michael agrees with him. Michael speaks fondly of daughter Amelia and son Harry who is just now showing signs of wanting to follow in his father's footsteps. He closes with mention of his ambition to ride until age 60.

Thank you for listening to this episode from my archives. Stay tuned for a refreshed podcast theme, new guests, and even artwork soon! Send me a DM on Instagram @melissallarena - I would love to hear your thoughts on this "best of episode." Joe Williams is a former NRL player, professional boxer, and turned mental health advocate, who's bringing The Enemy Within workshops to various communities. The Enemy Within is built on its five pillars of values: love, care, respect, humility, and compassion.  Joe is known for his committed work within the community mental health and suicide prevention sectors. During our conversation, Joe mentions how we always talk about, "it takes a village to raise a child." And he makes a valid point that we don't have a village anymore. We wake up and go to work and send our kids off to school or to daycare in the morning, pick them up in the afternoon, and put them to bed. Unfortunately, we're not raised by our village anymore. Our kids are being shipped off and passed around by all these different people that have absolutely no idea who they are.  Now, where is this magical village that was supposed to help us raise our kids and support our families? How can we heal as a society and recover from some of the consequences that come from living in a concrete jungle? What practical wisdom might we want to borrow from indigenous and/or aboriginal societies that have worked for thousands of years?  You may be new to this podcast and I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for listening. In exchange, I want you to know that I believe you're in control of your overall well-being and success, whether you're a parent or not. My perspective comes from being a daughter to a mom who has manic depression. I've witnessed a parent whose capacity took a hit and had grown up in that environment. I had to figure out the tools, methods, and ways to show up resiliently in my life. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to achieve my goals and ambitions as a coach to moms in business, a podcast host who has brought on big names like GaryVee and Suzy Batiz, nor as a mom to three young sons.  Before jumping into today's story and wisdom, I want to be sure you are connected to a completely free group of powerful, driven, and resilient moms with child-proofed coaching or services businesses that can bounce back faster after family interruptions.  What is a child-proof business? The key to business success as a coach, podcaster, or service business professional is that you and your business can navigate the volatile and unpredictable changes – childcare, illness, newborn, homeschool, etc. Join our Facebook group: Resilient Moms With Child-Proof High Impact Businesses: https://bit.ly/curiousmom. Share this with a mom in business who values her mental health and that of her children because Joe offers wisdom that can honestly save someone's life. This conversation offers the key to healing as a society and for generations to come. Meet Joe Joe is a proud Wiradjuri/Wolgalu, First Nations Aboriginal man born in Cowra, raised in Wagga NSW, Australia. Joe played in the National Rugby League for South Sydney Rabbitohs, Penrith Panthers, and Canterbury Bulldogs before switching to professional Boxing in 2009. Joe is a 2x WBF World Jnr Welterweight champion and won the WBC Asia Continental Title.  Although forging a successful professional sporting career, Joe battled the majority of his life with suicidal ideation and bipolar disorder. After a suicide attempt in 2012, Joe felt his purpose was to help people who struggle with mental illness. Through customized workshops, Joe talks of dealing with adversities, struggles, resilience, addiction, connection, emotional wellbeing & healing trauma in schools, communities, correctional services, sporting clubs, and workplaces. Joe was awarded the Wagga Wagga Citizen of the Year in 2015 for his committed work within the community mental health and suicide prevention sectors and was named a finalist in the National Indigenous Human Rights Awards. In 2018, Joe was awarded Suicide Prevention Australia's highest honor, a LiFE Award for his excellence in communities within the suicide prevention sector. In 2019, he was named a dual winner of the Australian Mental Health Prize.  Now a published author, Joe's autobiography “Defying The Enemy Within” shares not only his life's story but also offers practical tools anyone can implement to improve and maintain their emotional wellbeing. Joe also contributed to the book, “Transformation; Turning Tragedy into Triumph” and was featured in the documentary, “Suicide: The Ripple Effect”. Highlights Mental Health: Decide to proactively identify the best mental health tools for you and begin to implement them. Introspection: Think about modern society and see what parts are not serving you or your kids. Use this chat as an invitation for self-reflection because you don't have to copy/paste what everyone else is doing…not as a mom nor in business. Values: Learn about the values of society you admire (one that is authentic to you or one you admire from a distance). Distraction: We sit from nine to five in front of the computer. We go home tired because we're working and earning money for someone else. We get nasty at our children because we've had a tough day, not even worrying about how emotionally unstable our kids are. Lineage: Every family has patterns and mythology of thought, belief, and behavior that are passed on from one generation to another, the same way physical characteristics have been passed on. Compassion: Everyone is the way they are for a reason. We just need to be kind and compassionate to each other.  Awareness: Any outburst of emotional pain is a response to something else. A lot of the time, it's not directly related to the person we're out bursting and responding to. We're triggered by something that happened to us many years ago - and awareness is key. Expression: We fail to talk about mental health due to shame. It's sad how children are not given the agency to regulate their emotions because adults don't allow them to. We have to look back to go forward again. Connection: As human beings, we are born wired for love and connection. People have been connected since the beginning of time. And we're more disconnected than we've ever been in the history of humankind.  Gift: Shamans walk into mental health facilities and they don't see sickness. They see an abundance of people who are spiritually gifted.  Grounding: If people are 70% water, and the earth is made up of water, we need to get back to water. Anxiety: The fact that we're so sick as people now is because we project forward into a future that may not even be there. Depression: Anything that we're depressed about has happened in our past. But the best we can do is learn from it and adjust it to be better.  Presence: All we have is a moment of presence and it becomes the past. It's about being the absolute best person that we can be in the present moment.  Advocate: Advocate for yourself and don't be afraid to speak up. Be the best version of yourself – but you have to do your work. Values: The opposite of respect is disrespect. The opposite of compassion is judgment. The opposite of humility is ego. The opposites of those values are aligned with behaviors as well.  Acceptance: We don't know what the destination looks like yet. We just have to be grateful and thankful and try to find peace with that.

The military history of Australia tells an important narrative of Australia's past. Australia has been involved in numerous conflicts, wars, and military service, which have significantly influenced  Australia's society and national identity.  John Stanley speaks to Mat McLachlan, a leading Australian battlefield historian, about his new book, The Cowra Breakout. The Cowra Breakout occurred on 5th August 1944, when more than 400 Japanese prisoners of war attempted to escape from a prisoner of war camp near Cowra, in New South Wales. The book brings to light the missing pieces of Australia's World War II history, exploring the raw emotions these soldiers faced and the extremes people will go to when they feel all hope is lost.   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Royce Simmons is an Australian former NRL Player & Coach. During his playing career he represented the Penrith Panthers, NSW Blues and Australian Kangaroos. After he finished playing he moved into the coaching world and ended up coaching the Panthers, Hull FC, St Helens and later worked as an assistant coach to Tim Sheens at Wests Tigers. When Penrith Panthers' rugby league legend Royce Simmons disclosed in January 2022 that, at age 61, he had been diagnosed with dementia the previous year, many were in shock.Typically, the former Kangaroos hooker immediately set about not only exploring what he required to do to slow the dreaded condition's progress, his thoughts turned to assisting others who were affected by the disease – not just sufferers but their supporting families too.Within months, Royce's Big Walk (a registered charity foundation) as a reality and the support he has received by not just many VIPs of rugby league, but the Penrith district's community and beyond has been extraordinary.So, among other fund-raising initiatives for Royce's designated not-for-profit support organisation, Dementia Australia, Royce will walk – from May 17-26 – the 300km from his small hometown of Gooloogong (population less than 300) through Cowra, Carcoar, Blayney, Bathurst, Katoomba and across the Blue Mountains, arriving pre-match at Penrith's Bluebet Stadium the night the Panthers take on North Queensland Cowboys.Along the way there will be several sportsman's dinners or lunches, and a coaching clinic, to help raise funds for local rugby league on the route.You can support Royce's mission, Dementia Australia, junior rugby league and, in particular, the families who have or will go through what Royce himself is confronting, by donating or attending some of the functions from May 17-26.The tough-as-nails former Panthers skipper is tackling his Alzheimer's diagnosis just as he would any other opponent on the footy field – head on and with the benefit of his ‘team' and their supporters as his major priority.If you would like to donate and support Royce please visit the link below. https://www.memorywalk.com.au/event/royces-big-walk

She's the psychologist who calls criminals' bluff. Dr Susan Pullman is often tasked with sitting down with Australia's most violent men and assessing their mental health. Often, the crooks attempt to feign mental illness to achieve a lesser sentence as was the case with baby-faced killer Daniel Kelsall, who randomly followed  businessman Morgan Huxley home from the Oaks' pub in Neutral Bay and stabbed him to death. Also in this episode she discusses the Cowra based axe-murdering grandfather who killed his wife and two grandchildren.
