Ottobre, a former apprentice jockey himself, admits nding a rider brave enough to execute the front running tactics was half of the battle early in her career. That journey with Ottobre started in 2019 when he paid $100,000 for the daughter of Pride of Dubai – taken by her shape and attitude on the Inglis sales grounds and having that “X-factor” look. 13 wins, an Australian Horse of the Year title and $12.5 million in prizemoney later, Ottobre can’t believe the ride is entering its seventh racing season - and didn’t rule out an eighth racing season. “Not a hope in hell,” Ottobre said of predicting her racing journey. “She’s an incredible horse… she has a heart as big as the world. “She’s nine years old and she’s as good as ever if not better. “Look out this spring!” Pride of Jenni’s two Ladbrokes Feehan Stakes wins have certainly been memorable with a much hyped four-horse contest in 2024 and ending short-priced favourite Treasurethe Moment’s winning run in 2025.
