Wonder woman...Clare Lindop is just three wins away from notching her 1000th winner. She's a record-maker. In 2003, Clare became the first Australian female jockey to ride in the Melbourne Cup and she's had two more rides in the great race since then. In 2008, she became the first female jockey to ride a Grp 1 winner, scoring on Rebel Raider in the Victoria Derby. She's a two-time winner of the Adelaide jockeys' premiership, and last season became the inaugural winner of the John Letts Medal for excellence in the sport at Thoroughbred Racing South Australia's annual industry awards.
