Family pride drives Platinum Jive's Melton win

06 January 2026 | Paul Courts

It’s fair to say racing Platinum Jive is a true family adventure.

Trained by Vic Pace, Platinum Jive is predominantly driven by his son, William, who part-owns the mare.

William’s wife, four children and the family of a “work mate” share ownership in the daughter of Rock N Roll Heaven.

So naturally Platinum Jive had a reasonably-sized cheer squad watching her win in Melton last Friday night.
