Clayton Douglas has set his Instagram to private and is no longer following Jamie Kah. Suggests the rumours are true.

@racing is reporting 3 months suspension! stewards report out shortly.

It appears the 'police' were tipped off by a jilted ex partner? #don'tshitinyourownnest.

She's damaged goods Freda, the aliens already took her, and sent her back.........

QLD is bad enough, the Sheriff of QLD, Anathesia is a lunatic assisted by her blonde bimbo sidekick Lady Janet, but hells bells, VIC is Nazi Germany allover again.......NSW is run by fools, covering their arse everyday, ADL is half an hour behind everyone else for a reason, and WA is run by Mussolini.......Morrison is a hypocrite surrounded by sycophants so, we look to NZ for leadership, we need help, throw us a lifeline........please.

Kiwi jocks.......not kicks, WTF?

More scandal from Danistan racing INC..........Kiwi kicks would never do this........ Racing Victoria have slammed a number of Melbourne’s top jockeys – including Jamie Kah and Ben Melham - after they were stood down for allegedly gathering at a costal rental and breaking Victoria’s strict Covid lockdowns. Racing Victoria stewards have alleged in a report on Thursday that Kah, Melham as well as fellow jockey Ethan Brown and apprentice Celine Gaudray “were present at an ‘Airbnb’ in Mornington after 9pm with two other non-licensed individuals” on Wednesday night. Current Victorian government guidelines not only prohibit leaving your home for anything other than essential work or activities, but a strict 9pm curfew has also been imposed. All four now have been given a 14-day ban from race tracks and licensed premises on the advice of the chief health officer. The jockeys also face significant suspensions once their cases are heard by stewards on Friday and will likely now miss key parts of the Spring Carnival. RV CEO Giles Thompson said their behaviour has put the entire industry’s ability to operate during the pandemic at risk. “The alleged behaviour of these four jockeys is a slap in the face to every member of the racing industry that has worked incredibly hard to protect the sport and the community while continuing to race since covid restrictions were first introduced in March 2020,” Thompson said. “These individuals could have put at risk the very continuance of our sport and also blatantly disregarded the broader community implications through their selfish and thoughtless actions. “The Stewards have elected to lay significant charges against these individuals, which is appropriate given the potential impact their actions could have had on community safety, the livelihoods of the 25,000 Victorian jobs supported by racing and the welfare of the horses who rely on the daily care and exercise the industry provides. “To see all of that potentially thrown away by the reckless behaviour of a small few is incredibly disappointing and far from what is expected of our industry participants.” Thompson said the behaviour of the jockeys involved goes in the face of Racing’s compliance during the pandemic so far. “While these actions do not reflect the majority, I want to make it extremely clear to all industry participants of the critical need to abide all industry and Government directives, especially as we enter the Spring Racing Carnival period,” he said. “Thank you to those that continue to do the right thing by the industry at all times and I hope this serves as a firm reminder of how fortunate we are to continue racing and the importance of adhering to the protocols. “The Stewards have adjourned the inquiry and until 9:30am on Friday 27 August. A further Report will be provided at the conclusion of the inquiry.” Stewards have charged all four with the “failure to observe processes and directions of PRAs or Stewards” , in particular to ‘fail or refuse to comply with an order, direction or requirement of the Stewards or an official”. According the stewards reports, “this conduct is in breach of the current State Government Regulations (namely the Stay at Home Directions) which prohibit private gatherings for persons not otherwise living with one another. The conduct is also in breach of the imposed curfew for Metropolitan Melbourne and Racing Victoria’s COVID Protocols state that any failure to comply with State Government Regulations will be deemed to be a failure or refusal to comply with an order, direction, or requirement of the Stewards or an official.” Kah, the reigning Victorian premiership winner, will now miss riding Behemoth, the $4.20 Sportsbet favourite in the Group 1 Memsie Stakes and Group 1 aspirant Ayrton $2.10 in race nine. Melham was due to ride Beau Rossa, a $10 chance in the Memsie Stakes.

Les Theodore the other trainer, this is going to get interesting.

You answered your own question DB, .......Idiots!

Lisa Enright named as the trainer.......anyone remember her?

Adam Matthews, the vet who could not be drawn to appear at a major cobalt inquiry six years ago, was reported today to have been arrested for involvement in race-fixing. Victoria Police media reported that a 38-year-old Keilor East man and a 47-year-old woman from Mornington were arrested on warrant by sporting intelligence detectives over alleged involvement in a range of offences including race fixing and cocaine trafficking. There has been innuendo in racing circles regarding the identity of the woman but she has not been named by police. The Herald Sun named Matthews as the Keilor man. Warrants were executed in Keilor East, Mornington and Wallan from 8.25am this morning. Police have begun interviewing the pair. During the long-running cobalt saga of trainers Danny O’Brien and Mark Kavanagh, Matthews was a mysterious figure, unable to be called to the Racing Appeals And Disciplinary Board hearing on mental health grounds. He had been described by his former colleague at a Flemington clinic, Tom Brennan, as a peddler of unregistered potions to trainers and an addicted gambler. Brennan said Matthews had been the source of a “vitamin complex” that, unbeknown to Brennan and the two trainers, was later found to be cobalt. Other than admitting to having gambling issues, Matthews denied Brennan’s accusations, telling the RADB in 2016 that Brennan was a proven liar. Matthews did not appear, with his statement read to the board by his lawyer. Matthews was outed for five and a half years for supplying cobalt in NSW and was later cleared on appeal.

Detectives from the Sporting Integrity Intelligence Unit have today arrested two people as part of an investigation into alleged illegal activity within the racing industry. Warrants were executed in Keilor East, Mornington and Wallan from 8.25am this morning. A 38-year-old Keilor East man has been arrested and will now be interviewed for offences including: • 195C Engage in conduct that corrupts or would corrupt a betting outcome of event or event contingency; • Trafficking a Drug of Dependence - Cocaine; and • Conspiracy to Defraud Racing Victoria Limited Stewards. A 47-year-old Mornington woman has been arrested and will be interviewed for offences including: • 195C Engage in conduct that corrupts or would corrupt a betting outcome of event or event contingency; and • Conspiracy to Defraud Racing Victoria Limited Stewards. The investigation has focused on the alleged use of illegal substances in racing and corrupt betting practices, as well as the use, possession and trafficking of cocaine. Police will also consider making a formal referral to the Veterinary Practitioners Board with regards to the alleged failure to comply with requirements as a registered vet. Detectives from the Sporting Integrity Intelligence Unit have been assisted by all three racing codes in Victoria during this investigation – Racing Victoria, Harness Racing Victoria and Greyhound Racing Victoria. Police are also liaising with the Office of the Racing Integrity Commissioner.

He's a qualified vet you know, can just see him in a little white coat, stethoscope around the neck, giving the great unwashed a little prick.......oops.

No plaudits to RQ, the threat of boycott by many leading stables here led to this.

And NO Australians!!!!

Did no-one read these blokes CV's when they applied for their jobs? Did the alarm bells not ring then, hadn't they heard of Google......or Duckduckgo........anything?.........if they had, it would have saved a lot of grief.

You have to hand it to Aussies, they can sniff out an opportunity or two, in this case shamefully so, to denigrate the new boss of the ATA and have no track record yourself except for disaster after disaster, well, surely they both need to be punted immediately.....can I ask why Shaun hasn't sued George for defamation ? Saundry will face his day no doubt but Shaun should be able to send this bloke packing on the back of the diatribe he dished out in a public forum with many witnesses.

One day last week, Lifeline had 1500 calls, mostly from young people. Thats the tragedy of this, the stupidity of so called adults is impacting on the mental fragility of the young.....FFS!

Are suicides up in NZ? They sure are here.

Were you an extra in Pam's video? Like the gear stick on Tommy's boat?

Ive just wet my pants, this site has livened right up.......ye ha.

Post of the year, give that man a prize!

My neighbour two doors down is a registrar at The Uni Hosp, he told me a few days back, ''2 people in ICU none with Covid''.......they were told to expect hundreds if not thousands....unreal.......

SFA Flu this year Aquaman, funny that don't you think?

Isn't it strange when you look at the CV's of the majority of these fleas they haven't held a real job, first school, then Uni, Unions or public service, .......NO real life experiences away from the public purse.........any fucker drawing a wage while others suffer with no income should be disqualified from argument......full stop.
