\u201cMy son has been really helpful in my recovery,\u201d Wayne said.<\/p>\n
Wayne won\u00a0feature events earlier in his career before, in his own words, his life fell apart.<\/p>\n
The Kiwi native won Group races as a hoop back at home before moving to Australia where he rode for many years in Western Australia, Queensland and New South Wales.<\/p>\n
The New Zealander has ridden on both islands on his homeland and tasted Group success as a rider there.<\/p>\n
He claimed the Group 3 Preston at Awapuni in September of 1993 on a galloper named All In Fun.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI have cleaned my life up and life has turned around from there,\u201d Wayne said.<\/p>\n
\u201cOnce I did all that and sorted my life out \u2013 I wanted to come back to riding. I have not looked back from there, really.\u201d<\/p>\n
Wayne couldn\u2019t do it alone and had his young son alongside him every step of the way.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cMy son has been really helpful in my recovery,\u201d Wayne said.
