Hall Of Fame trainer Chris Waller has paid South Australia’s Jamie Kah the ultimate compliment as she strives to win her first Melbourne Cup on Tuesday.
Chris Waller has paid Jamie Kah an enormous compliment as she fights to rediscover her best in Tuesday’s Melbourne Cup.
But a win would make her achievement all the sweeter given Kah was fighting for her life only eight months ago after a shocking race fall, ironically at Flemington.“It’s a very, very special race for Australia and I’m happy to be on him, I know he’ll run the trip, we just have to get him in a good spot.”Kah, who grew up in the Adelaide Hills but now lives on Victoria’s Mornington Peninsula, finished an unlucky third in the 2020 Melbourne Cup on Prince Of Arran.
“She’s not getting the calibre of horses that she was, but I think she’s still riding as good as ever. Kah’s form slump coincides with her facing a misconduct charge over her part in a “white powder” controversy, which will be heard over two days on November 13 and 14.It is alleged Kah was filmed by a friend, registered stablehand Ruby McIntyre, appearing to arrange a white substance into three lines with an identification card during a gathering at her home on June 17-18.
Itâs genuinely so nice seeing Jamie Kah smiling and happy again. Super ride by her on Cause for Concern. Great win!She had her first race ride at Streaky Bay on South Australia’s Eyre Peninsula in March, 2012. She rode her first winner, Magic Tigress, at Clare on April 7, 2012. However, in the same year she hit the headlines for the wrong reasons when, in the middle of an intense Victorian lockdown, Kah was found to have hosted a rogue gathering at an Airbnb rental, breaching the state’s strict Covid rules.
