The race that stops a nation is fast approaching and Moggill Pony Club was called upon to lend a hand to promote Melbourne Cup celebrations in Brisbane City.

A horse and jockey was needed for a photo shoot, and eight year old Georgia Rink answered the call. The Moggill Pony Club member brought in Pilgrim, the racehorse, to pose for the cameras in Reddacliff Place. 

A crowd of onlookers gathered to watch the shoot.

“It was great fun. Pilgrim was very good,” Georgia said.
