Q & A WITH PATRICK MILLS
How did you get involved in and what is your background in racing?
Patrick: I got involved through my grandfather Vincent Mills, who worked for Craig Williams for 10+ years. My family and friends have been in racing for nearly their whole lives, and I was exposed to it from a young age, so naturally I also got involved.
Did you ever work in the stables or ride trackwork?
Patrick: I have never worked with horses and have only ever rode on a few occasions in my life.
What is your favourite moment/ achievement you are proud of in racing so far?
Patrick: My favourite moment by far was when Craig won the Melbourne Cup. Yes, I was extremely happy for Craig and I was very proud to work for him, but it was more the affect it had on my grandfather at the time, he had worked for Craig for a long time and had never seen him win The Cup, he was brought to tears when Craig won, and watching the race with my grandfather was one the proudest moments I have.
Other jobs you have outside of being a Valet?
Patrick: I have my pilot's license and I'm currently studying to be either a commercial or private pilot.
