Jamie Melham has ridden into the history books, becoming the second female jockey to win the Melbourne Cup on Half Yours, following Michelle Payne on Prince of Penzance 10 years ago. She's also won the double, the Caulfield Cup-Melbourne Cup double, obviously being the first female jockey to do both. The member for Wannon, co-chair of the parliamentary friends of racing, tells me it was a beautiful ride.
