In "Paul's Jockey's Story", the final episode of True Story with Hamish & Andy, a bolshie bloke from Dunedoo recalls how he once tried to make his lifelong dream come true.
The cast includes Andy Ryan, Luke McGregor, Mandy McElhinney, Anthony "Lehmo" Lehmann and a cameo from Dave Hughes.
Paul grew up in the small country town of Dunedoo, where from a young age he developed a lifelong love of horse racing. With his best mate Malcolm, a nine-year-old Paul would even stage their own Melbourne Cup with a couple of Shetland ponies on the farm. While both of them dreamed of one day becoming jockeys in the Melbourne Cup, Malcolm was the real jockey of the two and he went on to ride successfully in Sydney. Paul never forgot their dream though, and when Malcolm's hopes of riding in the Cup were dashed by injury, Paul decided to take things into his own hands to turn that dream into a reality. What followed would create Melbourne Cup history and make Paul's mother either very proud or entirely ashamed.
