Anybody who watches Sky Racing on Saturday nights will be aware of the achievements of Skye Bogenhuber at the regular Toowoomba meetings in recent years.
The thoroughly professional jockey has won 5 Toowoomba premierships, and went very close to a sixth.
Skye talks of her recent return to the saddle following a six months enforced lay off. She suffered a bleed to the brain in a nasty fall at the Toowoomba jump outs, and faced a long period of rehabilitation.
You’ll enjoy her recollections of life growing up in the NSW Blue Mountains, and her trips to the local Pub and Club TAB with her late father Joe.
She talks of her passion for athletics during school days, and an obsession with training.
Skye reflects on her time as a student at the Uni of NSW. She has never forgotten the moment she spotted a racehorse from her classroom window opposite Randwick racecourse.
She takes us through her learning period in riding tuition at the Richmond TAFE, and her subsequent apprenticeships in Grafton and Brisbane.
The Bogenhuber journey from those early days has been quite an adventure. Early on she had to drive hundreds of kilometres to get a ride at small meetings in Queensland.
Now she’s often called “The Queen Of Clifford Park”. I’m sure you’ll enjoy Skye Bogenhuber’s story.
