The Victorian Racing Tribunal has returned its verdict on Jamie Kah’s controversial ride at Caulfield last month. She was charged with failing to give her horse every chance to win.
Punters lost about $214,000 on a horse that Jamie Kah failed to give every chance to win or run a placeKah was suspended for three weeks after being found guilty by the tribunal of not taking a gap on her mount, Let’sfacethemusic, to improve her position in the McNeil Stakes on Saturday, August 31.The penalty will start on grand final night, September 28, meaning Kah will miss the Turnbull Stakes, the Caulfield Guineas and the Caulfield Cup.
Corrie Waller, who was acting on behalf of stewards, said punters outlaid $80,000 on Let’sfacethemusic to run a place, more than $75,000 on Let’sfacethemusic to finish in the trifecta and more than $59,000 for Kah’s horse to finish in the first four. The tribunal found that Kah could have taken a gap between horses in the home straight when riding Let’sfacethemusic. “We are satisfied that this ride did not involve a mere error of judgement on your part,” tribunal deputy chair Judge Kathryn Kings said.
