    History-maker. Trailblazer. And bloody tough!

    This one goes far beyond that unforgettable Melbourne Cup winning ride back in 2015.

    Yes, we relive the moment that stopped a nation, from the ride, the roar, the words that echoed around the world. And of course Stevie and the relationship she has with her brother. But this is the Michelle you don’t always see or hear.

    A decade on from her historic win, she opens up on the whirlwind that followed: the pressure, the expectations, and then yet another near death experience.

    From growing up in a racing family to navigating fame, loss, and everything in between, this is a story about grit, perspective, and staying true to yourself when the world is watching.

    There’s heartbreak, there’s humour, and there’s a whole lot of honesty. And it’s one you won’t forget.

    Go and buy Michelle's new book, Ride On TODAY!
