It tells the story of the 1948 Melbourne Cup winning jockey Ray Neville and his horse Rimfire who beat all the odds to win the race by a nostril. What makes it so special is that Ray was only 15 years old on that history making day while his mount Rimfire was partly lame and considered an 80 to 1 long shot by all the bookmakers and not expected to finish the race. Well, they not only won the hearts of the nation and finished the race but broke the track record in doing so. A huge thank you to Gavin Rawlings at Venture films who did a wonderful job shooting and producing the music video. Also, a big shout out to The Hawkesbury Racing Club for the use of their track during filming. Another big thank you to Chris and Sarah Rieger and Katie Goodridge for the use of their horse stables, they were perfect for the shoot. Matt
