About the episode
This is one bloody talented Irishman! From a small Irish town to the grandest stages in Australian racing — Robbie Dolan’s story has it all. A family steeped in racing tradition, yet he was a late bloomer in the saddle. Then came the leap of faith — a one-way ticket to Australia, a dream, and a chance to prove himself as an apprentice jockey. And that he did. But Robbie’s tale doesn’t stop at the track. With an unbelievable voice and fearless spirit, he took his talent from the turf to the television, capturing hearts on The Voice Australia. And then… the fairytale. Against all odds, on an outsider no one saw coming, Robbie Dolan storms home to win the 2024 Melbourne Cup. It’s the kind of story that feels straight out of Hollywood — or maybe just another classic episode of The Howie Games. *** Follow the Howie Games on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thehowiegamespod/ Follow the Howie Games on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thehowiegames See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
