NZ Sporting History: Horse trainer Sheila Laxon

06 Nov 2025

Description

It's Melbourne Cup week and we're thrilled to have trainer Sheila Laxon with us. In 2001, Sheila was the first female trainer to win the Melbourne Cup, with a horse named Ethereal. Last year she became the first woman to win it twice when Knight's Choice crossed the line first. The success doesn't stop there, earlier this year she was honored at the NZ Thoroughbred Racing Awards. Sheila chats to Jesse.
