The latest generation of a family legacy stretching back since the inception of Northern Territory horse racing more than a century ago, Brown looks set for a big 2012.
Not only does she turn 18, but Brown plans to combine her apprenticeship with university studies after recently completing Year 12 at Darwin High School.
"I've applied for various courses and I'm just waiting to see what I get," she said.
"I'm planning to keep riding, I've really enjoyed the experience of being an apprentice jockey, it is certainly different."
"You can get down when you're not riding winners, but you just have to keep pushing through and it is all worth it."
Brown has four rides on tomorrow's Bay card - Robson Street, Long Shorts and Kingsford for dad Stephen, and the Shane Clarke-trained He's Reeling.
The first is at 3.48pm.
