Rookie Rockhampton teenage apprentice jockey Tahlia Fenlon certainly isnât an advocate of doing things by half measures
That was apparent at the Gladstone Turf Club races last Saturday, when Tahlia, 18, rode a winning double at just her second day of race riding.
Better still, Tahliaâs first winner the Kevin Miller trained Absolute Bonza smashed the course record when running 58.40 seconds in the Trademark Benchmark 65 over 1000 metres.
Whatâs more, Absolute Bonza lumped 65.5kg which included Tahliaâs four-kilogram allowance.
No wonder the lightly framed lass struggled to carry the large saddle with lead aplenty in the bags up the stairs to the scales to weigh-in.
