8 The RMBL Investments Rising Stars Series has once again put a season-long spotlight on Victoria’s emerging riding talent, culminating this year in a career-best campaign for its newly crowned champion, Emily Pozman. Held across metropolitan and country tracks from August to a Flemington finale in July, the RMBL Investments Rising Star Series is an apprentice-only competition awarding points to the top five finishers in each leg, 12 down to 1. Run over eleven months, the format rewards consistency as much as raw talent, and is now an important part of apprentice development in the state. Apprenticed to Peter Moody and Katherine Coleman, Pozman had already enjoyed a standout season before the series was decided – landing her first Flemington winner in January aboard Gallant Son, and picking up the VJA’s Outstanding Apprentice Jockey in Training award By Celia Purdey RISING TO THE CHALLENGE Apprentices
