217: Gai Waterhouse (Part B)

The dazzling First Lady of horse racing. And she sure does dazzle.  Gai Waterhouse has seriously defied the odds. She broke through every barrier known to become one of the most celebrated trainers in the sport's history. Not only did she inherit a love for horses, but an unyielding determination to make her own mark. Gai takes Howie through her journey to obtain her trainer's license, which was nothing short of a saga—battling industry scepticism, legal challenges, and even public doubt. But Gai's resilience was unstoppable. She blazed a trail that led to a stunning array of victories, including the coveted Melbourne Cup. With her trademark flair, boundless energy, and an infectious passion for the sport, Gai goes through it all!
