[2] Murphy rode in the 2007 Melbourne Cup[3] aboard the Michael Moroney trained horse Sarrera and was placed 18th.

[5] Sebastian Murphy won his first Group 1 race on Saturday 7 June 2008 when he rode the Mike Moroney trained Mr Baritone to victory in the Stradbroke Handicap at Eagle Farm.

[6] Murphy's career as a jockey ended due to increasing weight with his last race-day rides on 27 March 2010 at Ballarat.
