Teresa Palmer stars in 'Ride Like A Girl', based on the inspirational true story of Michelle Payne. As a little girl Michelle dreamed of the impossible: winning the Melbourne Cup. However, a near-fatal fall, threatens to end her hopes of competing in the race. With the love and support from her father and brother Stevie, she overcomes all odds to become the first female to win the Melbourne Cup.
"Based on the story of Michelle Payne, the only jockey to win the Melbourne Cup, 'Ride Like a Girl' does justice to the emotion you expect when it comes to a story about achieving dreams. The true story itself already brings some tragic events - such as Payne's fall at the beginning of her career that caused multiple fractures that delayed her progress in the sport - but her father's (played by Sam Neill) sympathy gives the perfect touch to turn this story into a sensitive and tender family entertainment."
