Today on NZ Sport History were going all the way back to Melbourne in 1983 when legendary jockey Jim "pumper" Cassidy rode 'Kiwi' from dead last to win the 1983 Melbourne Cup.
Later that same year Cassidy rode Kiwi to victory again, this time at the Wellington Cup the first and only time a horse has won both in the same year.
Jim talks to Jesse about the incredible horse which he bought for one thousand dollars and trained on Taranaki sheep farm.
