Enjoyable watch, I was aware of his famous Ultra road race but his other achievements are also mega inspiring, especially his 100 mile 'warm up' weeks before that race.
Song's name at 35:37: "just another moment on your own". Does anybody know where I can find it? On youtube there is only a live version and it is not full.
Just found this, pretty inspirational. Now, we have identical twin teenage girls and I've sat them down, put this on and pretty much told them - if you put your mind to it, learn the job, the sky is the limit and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Females are all about technique and using their brains, men are all about power - - - - - watch female golf if you want to improve your game, same with riding a horse - - skill
The Payne family had so much tragedy in their lives absolutely well deserved legendary for horse female jockey and the Payne family love Anthony Fed ex lol
What a great story of persistence by the horse and the jockey who both had a lot problems the horse with a bout of colic and Michelle Payne with bad race falls Michelle Payne your a legend and Prince of Penzance your a legend of a Melbourne cup winner forevermore love Anthony Fed ex lol
I was looking for some sort of documentary after hearing about this for the first time. Quite surprising consider I flood my mind with positive stuff all of the time. Thanks for posting
My mate Liam runs from Clapham to Hampstead Heath, round it, and back and he is no spring chicken. I thought that was impressive until I saw this. Absolutely brilliant.
Cliff Young is a national treasure for his marvelous achievement and his modesty. However today most young people in Australia have never heard of Cliff which is so bloody sad. I was a teenager in 1983 when he shuffled all the way from Sydney to Melbourne and I still think to this day it was the greatest individual sporting feat I have ever seen. RIP CLIFFY.
Super cliff!!! Just I like so much the Best ultra marathon : total miles until end of our life, as per duv ultra marathons statistics, very good luck everybody ultra marathon runner!!!
Not many know that barely three weeks before Cliffy’s epic and brave victory in this Sydney to Melbourne 875km race, he decimated the field in the 1983 Australian 100 Mile Race on a soggy grass oval at Manly on Easter Saturday night, through constant rain. For most of the race he ran without a shirt or shoes. He successfully defended his Title from the previous year in just over 14 hours. Two years later in 1985 he won the Australian Sri Chinmoy 24 Hour Track Race in Adelaide, on a black cinders track in 35 degrees heat with a world class 235km at 63 years of age.🙏
I love this families and their hard work and dedication to the race horse
❤
Inspirational even nearly a decade later. Also, I didn't realise there were 19 overseas horses & five Kiwi horses. None from Aussie. Go figure.
God blessed you Michelle
Thank you for this true story !!! 🔥🔥🔥
Such a humble, wholesome man. With the heart of Prefontaine and the spirit of Terry Fox.
A special Australian story, of a good family.

I've always wondered if this was actually an accurate portrayal of Damien Oliver or if it was a personification of the attitude of males in general
What a wonderful humble person. GOD bless Cliff Young. 😇
The Prince loves Maddie

I did it before I got too old. He was 61 and he claims he would peak at 65.
