Trainer-jockey Jade Darose finds her way with historic win
Jade Darose needed some help finding the Flemington float carpark on Saturday but left the track as the first trainer-jockey to land a winner at Flemington, and it was with her only horse in training, Parwan Prince.
The jockey was granted a trainer's licence in 2016, along with Michelle Payne and Rhonda Mangan, and had won with Parwan Prince previously.

"I haven't been for so long, I didn't know where to get the horse and the float in,"she said after Parwan Prince beat Miss Norway ($3.80) and Gibbon ($19).
