“The horse that changed my life is Scroll of Fame.
He was the first horse Sid trained after obtaining his licence in 1977. We were married in 1976 and I had no previous knowledge or exposure to thoroughbred racing.
It was a totally unknown lifestyle. Our family life has been centred around the industry ever since. It is a very demanding life, yet we have experienced some of the highest highs along with some of the lowest lows. But due to Sid's hard work, dedication and love for horses, it has been an extremely rewarding one.
Each day brings new opportunities and dreams of future accomplishments.”
