Your Tipster: Brittany Taylor Brittany Taylor's background is entrenched in racing, with her grandparents and trainer father, Jim Taylor introducing her to horses when she was just a baby. Brittany started working for her dad when she was 12 years old and still rides trackwork for him today. She part-owned her first racehorse when she was just 18 and it was the best introduction to ownership she could have asked for - Thateldo won six of his first 13 starts and placed at the other seven! You can hear Brittany commentating from the Mounting Yard for SKY Racing each week in Perth, and on The Races WA Podcast with Lochie Taylor and Alex Vlahos.
