The Australian racing industry continues to come to terms with the death of Dean Holland in a race fall at Donald in April. Ethan Brown, Jamie Kah, Craig Williams, and Blaike McDougall were all sidelined with serious injuries on either side of the Donald tragedy. Ethan Brown required multiple surgeries in the wake of his fall in the Australian Guineas in March. Cranbourne track regulars were amazed when the 24 year old reported for trackwork on July 10th and even more surprised when he resumed race riding at Sandown last Sunday (Aug 6th). Ethan joins us on the podcast to talk about his miracle recovery and to reflect on a short but brilliant career which began in his hometown of Alice Springs. He talks about that all important first day back at trackwork. Ethan says his body had to adjust following a long lay off from the saddle. He says the accident came at a time when he'd ridden 62 Victorian winners for the season. He has a philosophical attitude when it comes to the highs and lows of racing. Ethan has a clear recollection of the Flemington accident. He says he felt as though he'd been thrown into a washing machine. He talks of the love and support extended by family and friends in the days after the fall. The young jockey takes us back to childhood days in Alice Springs and his gradual indoctrination into the world of the thoroughbred. He talks of his initial apprenticeship to Greg Connor and a later transfer to Garry and Lisa Lefoe. With barrier trials scarce in Alice Springs Ethan explains that he had to go to Melbourne to acquire the mandatory number of rides. Mick Kent Snr came to the rescue. Brown says he returned to the Alice to get his riding career started, and reflects on his only two wins at home. He talks of a return to Victoria and a transfer of his indentures to Mick Kent Snr. The jockey reflects on a magical day at Wycheproof when he had three rides for three wins. His career was off the ground. Ethan talks of his mateship with two other Kent apprentices who helped him through some chronic homesickness. He remembers his first city win on a horse provided by Mitch Beer, and the beginning of a wonderful association with Darren Weir. He talks of the highpoints on Weir trained horses. Ethan reflects on his two victories in the Rising Star Series. The talented apprentice has three Gr 1 wins under his belt already. He talks of the first one, the Robert Sangster Stakes in Adelaide on the bonny mare Snap Dancer. Staying with Snap Dancer, Ethan recalls her second in the Gr 1 Tatts Tiara and her all the way win in the historic Memsie Stakes. The two Gr 1 wins on Snap Dancer came courtesy of Maher and Eustace. Maher and Eustace gave the young jockey another chance at the elite level in the Turnbull Stakes on Smokin' Romans. Ethan recalls the thrill. Ethan looks back on the exciting 2018/2019 season when he was crowned champion apprentice and figured prominently on the overall Melbourne jockeys premiership. He pays a special tribute to his partner and fellow jockey Celine Gaudray who was runner up in last season's Melbourne apprentices premiership. He talks of Celine's amazing race day temperament.  More than 400 wins and three Gr 1's in just eight years of riding highlights the talents of the young Territorian. His recent recovery from serious injury suggests his steely determination to succeed is matched only by his toughness and durability. It's a nice yarn with an impressive young man.

Warrnambool trainer Maddie Raymond joined Gareth Hall on Giddy Up to discuss her introduction to racing, working with Darren Weir, stable star Earlswood, the highs and lows of racing , travelling to Dubai with Brave Smash, being a female in the industry and much more!

Maddie Raymond has been training in her own right for just two years but has already given notice that she has arrived in the Victorian training ranks. A Gr 3 with Earlswood, a Gr 2 with Turaath and a sequence of country Cups with Wentwood have brought her under notice in recent months. Maddie joins us on the podcast to talk about her journey with horses, from Warrnambool pony club to racing's big stage. She talks firstly of her acquisition of Earlswood and the way she got him fit enough to win first up after such a long absence. She discusses the hot form of another import Turaath who's won four consecutive races for the Raymond stable. She highlights the mare's stunning win in the Gr 2 Let's Elope Stakes. Maddie talks of Wentwood, a two time winner for Dermot Weld before joining her stable. The gelding took a while to get going but has now won five races in Australia. The twenty eight year old takes us back to pony club days in Warrnambool and the aged thoroughbred mare who got her hooked on racehorses. Maddie acknowledges the tuition she gained from several high profile Victorian trainers, and a six month stint with an Irish training legend. She was working for Darren Weir when she met Prince Of Penzance, and instantly fell in love with the horse who would win a Melbourne Cup and inspire the making of a popular movie. Maddie actually appeared in “Ride Like A Girl.” Maddie talks of her ten months helping to establish Linsey Smith's Warrnambool stable. During this time she forged a special relationship with Black Heart Bart. The talented trainer looks back on a dream trip to Dubai on the invitation of Kris Lees. She looked after Brave Smash in the lead up to his unsuccessful tilt at the Alquoz Sprint. During her time in the UAE Maddie met a young man who was destined to become her partner. She acknowledges the talents of Paddy Bell, a former jockey who went on to work for leading stables in Australia. During his time with Peter Moody, Paddy got to ride Black Caviar in most of her trackwork and accompanied the champion mare to the UK. Maddie talks of her frequent trips to Lady Bay Beach where her horses are swum and allowed to stretch their legs under saddle on a beautiful strip of beach. She acknowledges the efforts of her father Eddie who excels in his role with the oars. The popular trainer outlines the facilities available at Roseneath Lodge- the property owned by her parents where she grew up and began her life with horses. Today Roseneath is home base for Raymond Racing. On the downside Maddie talks of a distressing social media attack when one of her horses appeared on the Inglis Digital Auction. She explains how it happened. The trainer pays tribute to a group of gifted jockeys who share her stable riding duties. She talks of the way in which she manages the stress of her role as a professional trainer. She's not one to explode on race days. Maddie is perhaps best known for her success with mature imported horses, but she also enjoys training two year olds. She talks of a couple of promising youngsters she has in the stable currently.

It's a delight to introduce a young man whose serious health problems haven't diminished his resolve to become a serious professional jockey. Harry begins by talking about the wide area he covers in the pursuit of winners. He talks of a two year stay in Bendigo and the homesickness that took him back to Swan Hill. Harry talks about the 10 hectare property near Swan Hill where he lives with partner Tayla. He recalls having lived a reasonably normal childhood despite the restrictions imposed by his medical condition.   Harry takes us through his regular medication regime and the daily physiotherapy required to get him to the races. The jockey pays tribute to his horse trainer father Austy who remains his greatest supporter. He talks of his only sibling, brother Sam who has chosen a career path away from racing. Harry looks back on the magical occasion of his first winning ride.  He acknowledges the ongoing support of trainer Darren Weir in his early days as a jockey. The 25 year old will never forget his only Gr 1 win to date. Darren Weir entrusted him with the ride on Sopressa in the Schweppes Australasian Oaks of 2018. Harry takes us through an unforgettable day. He looks back on the exciting day at Wycheproof when he rode six of the seven winners. Harry makes special mention of one of his favourite horses- the great bush galloper Vianden who won many Country Cups. The jockey speaks with reverence of a horse called Signoff. He has no doubt the Darren Weir trained gelding is the best horse he's ridden to date.  Harry talks of his strong association with the Maher/Eustace stable. He expresses his appreciation of the wise counsel he receives from media identity Deane Lester. Harry says the absence of interstate jockeys and his ability to ride at a light weight, might bring him a ride or two in the bigger races over the Victorian carnival. There was no hesitation when I asked Harry to name the jockey who has been his greatest inspiration. This is a bright and breezy chat with a remarkable young man.
