Bloody hell, another article about a jockey. What about the horse? It's always about the people, never the animal. Disgusting.

lol cope. she's good but she's also connected. it's how it works.

Jack Morrison2026-06-25T04:59:02.000Z

Collett's got a good chance on that horse. Seen her ride before, she knows what she's doing.

Drew Parker2026-06-25T05:22:02.000Z

wait she's 36? I thought she retired or something. Good on her for coming back.

limited book of rides but still gets the black-type mount? says everything about the state of the industry. same old faces getting the good horses.

that's just the game, she's earned it.

Hope she does well, but tbh I'd rather read about the actual racing than her 'journey'.

Blake Turner2026-06-25T06:07:02.000Z

Anyone know the odds on this horse? Might have a cheeky bet.

Drew Parker2026-06-25T06:45:02.000Z

nah mate, read the racing guide. decent each-way chance.

NZ Herald2026-06-25T06:15:02.000Z

ffs another 'inspiring comeback' story. Get in the bin.
