Ryan Maloney was in high spirits when this interview was recorded on Thursday Dec 14th. He was looking forward to a big book of eight rides at Eagle Farm but fate saw him in a hospital bed in the early hours of Saturday morning. Anybody who has suffered a kidney stone episode will know that there are few more painful experiences. He's over the trauma and keen to get back to work. Ryan reviews his fortuitous decision to leave Victoria. He talks about the upward spiral of Queensland racing, and the newly refurbished Gold Coast track. Ryan talks of the beginning of his association with Toby Edmonds. He remembers a later trip Toby made with brilliant filly Houtzen. The jockey talks of early life in Colac and the scant racing background in his family. He talks of his first apprenticeship to local trainer Mark Young. Ryan hasn't forgotten his inauspicious riding debut at Horsham and the magic of his very first win. He looks back on his journey from Colac to Flemington and an apprenticeship to Robert Smerdon. Ryan recalls his first metropolitan win and a productive association with trainer Robbie Griffiths. He acknowledges some of his favourite horses from the Griffiths yard. He looks back fondly on a brief association with champion sprinter Nature Strip. Ryan remembers a great winning run with the Jamie Edwards trained Sertorius. He reflects openly on his positive test to a banned stimulant and the resultant four months on the sidelines. He gives a valid reason for his misdemeanour. Ryan looks back on the wonderful diversion he stumbled upon during his time out. He landed a role in the popular movie “Ride Like A Girl”, and loved the experience. He talks about his instant rapport with trainer David Vandyke, and the wonderful horse at the centre of the new partnership. Ryan takes us through his journey with the massively talented Alligator Blood. He talks of a Sydney stint with the Neasham stable and his partnership with quality mare Sunshine In Paris. Ryan speaks of his association with Isotope and the highs and lows that came with it. The jockey speaks of the Gollan trained Skirt The Law, the filly to give him a Magic Millions triumph. He talks of a Doomben Cup win for Team Snowden. Ryan pays tribute to wife Shaylee and daughters Stella and Isla who love the Queensland sunshine as much as he does. It's a good yarn with a 38 year old jockey whose move to Queensland has been career defining.
The Face is loving life in the Sunshine State, winning 3 of his past 4 starts. David Vandyke says the 6YO is a quirky character to say the least.

We introduce a hard working Queensland jockey who more than holds his own in the fiercely competitive Brisbane riding ranks. Michael reflects on a milestone win at a recent Gold Coast meeting- his 700th since his riding career began under amazing circumstances. Michael acknowledges the emergence of young trainer Indiana Turner who was in the winner's circle for the first time. The jockey says he had no idea about his upcoming career milestone until he heard other jockeys talking about a new on line service. He says the Queensland riding ranks are as strong as they've been in years. Michael takes us back to the day he bought his first car in Wollongong. He was attracted to some racing photos on the wall in the car dealer's office. He talks of his enrolment in a Racing NSW/Tafe course at Orange NSW. Michael looks back on work experience with Dubbo trainer Peter Nestor and his initial indentureship to Wade and Doreen Slinkard at Hawkesbury. He looks back on subsequent apprenticeships at Orange and Kembla Grange. He says his first day as a professional jockey was a complete disaster. Michael tells the story of his first winning ride. He noticed a jockey hadn't been declared for a horse at a Sapphire Coast meeting. He rang for the ride and a dream came true. The jockey outlines his next move- a “loan out” to Port Macquarie trainer Wayne Wilkes. He looks back on one disastrous ride. The horse won but Michael takes no credit. He remembers the day he met Linda Parker at the Grafton races- a young lady who was destined to become his wife. Michael talks of his next move to Murwillumbah where his future father-in-law Col Parker was training a team of racehorses. The jockey looks back on a Sunshine Coast win for the Parker stable which attracted the attention of trainer Pat Duff. Before he knew it Michael was working for Duff at his Deagon stables. He speaks fondly of his final boss, the late Kelso Wood who he regarded as a master trainer and a great supporter. The thirty four year old talks of his wife Linda and daughter Everly who's coming up seven years of age. Michael reflects on the thrill of winning a South East Queensland apprentice's premiership in the 2009/2010 season. He acknowledges the support of trainer David Vandyke and his great association with top filly Baccarat Baby. Michael reflects on some talented horses he's been lucky enough to ride in recent years. He explains why he chooses to chase his own rides rather than use the services of a jockey manager. Michael pays tribute to one of his Brisbane role models. It's a nice chat with the jockey whose career was motivated by the photos on the wall at the Oak Flats car dealership.

Great to catch up with the popular Kembla Grange trainer who is enjoying a magical ride with Think It Over, the horse rated by many as Australia's most improved galloper. He begins by heaping praise on Kembla Grange as a training centre, but doesn't dismiss the possibility of a move to town if the right opportunity comes along. Kerry talks of Think It Over's first win for the stable in a Cl 2 at Hawkesbury. The horse was unimpressive in winning and had to be spelled immediately. He reviews Think It Over's second preparation in which he won a BM88 at Randwick and ran respectable races in strong grade. Kerry talks of the gelding's quirky habits at that stage of his career. The trainer looks back on the first of Think It Over's two Craven Plate wins and his tremendous run in The Gong on his hometrack. Kerry delights in looking at the gelding's stunning winning sequence in the Autumn of 2021 highlighted by the Gr 1 George Ryder Stakes. He expresses his shock and disappointment when veterinary surgeons ordered the horse's withdrawal from the Doncaster. He'd sustained the most minor of abrasions on the trip to Randwick. Kerry is still in disbelief a year on. The trainer then concentrated on the Queen Elizabeth Stakes in which Think It Over ran a cracking fourth in elite company. Kerry discusses his reasons for passing up the Sydney Carnival to run in the Australian Cup. He talks of Think It Over's first two runs back from a spell which includes an Apollo Stakes win. Kerry takes us back to early days when he learned about horses at his father's Kangaroo Valley trail riding property. He reminisces about his days as a trackwork rider for several stables including one in Adelaide. The trainer looks back on a wonderful five year stint with master trainer Les Bridge who sent him to Melbourne with Drawn for a couple of important assignments. He's never forgotten the trip. Kerry talks about his return to the South Coast and a job with David Vandyke. Not long after he applied for his own trainer's licence. He acknowledges a few special horses who helped to get him up and running in his solo career. He makes special mention of his Queensland Derby winner Dark Dream. He was devastated when the horse was sold to Hong Kong. Kerry talks of the bread and butter horses who've kept the stable ticking over. He highlights a three year old filly for whom he's predicting a bright future.
