Former flight attendant Priscilla Schmidt won her first city race at Eagle Farm last Wednesday when she partnered Psychodelic to victory in the day’s opening race.

The 21-year-old has been riding for about 18 months and is following in the footsteps of her training father Dwayne who was also a jockey.

“I had my first race ride at Lismore in December, 2009,” Schmidt told AAP.

“I was a flight attendant with Jetstar for a year before that.”

“It was always my childhood dream to be a flight attendant, but after I did it for a year I wanted to follow another dream to become a jockey.”

Psychodelic ($4.40-$5-$4.80) had a length to spare on the line over the hot favourite Double Range ($1.50-$1.60), while Ideal ($21), another Magic Millions graduate, was third, another two and a quarter lengths back.

The promising gelding is turning out a great value purchase. The Network Bloodstock educated youngster was purchased at last year’s Magic Millions National Horses in Training Sale for $6,500.

He was purchased at that sale by Bette Harden – the wife of trainer Ted Harden and the senior part owner of the now multiple winner.

Helter Skelter is the only son of Group One sire Piccolo at stud. This spring he will stand at Craiglea Stud for the first time.

Psychodelic is one of just five first crop foals for Helter Skelter and the only runner to date for his sire.

His dam, the unraced Snippets mare Valiant Miss, has produced four winners from five to race – three of them multiple winners.

Valiant Miss is in turn from a three quarter sister to Victory Prince and half sister to Restive.

It is the same family as Golden Slipper winner Burst as well as stakes winners Worth, Allez France, Artist Man and Sudden.
