Common-sense prevails! Kah charges dropped.

From comments from both Chief and Newmarket inconsistency seems to apply. They are both pretty good riders.

I'm not the one knocking Kah for the sake of it.  However I'd have her on my horse before Willo.

[Chief Stipe]

Well done!!!  Grp 1 number 11 on an 18 to 1 shot!  Take that @Newmarket !!!

Yeah, did ok yesterday. Horses were primed to win 😋

Granted, it helps when they are trained properly.

So it's the trainer's merit when the horse wins but the Jockey's fault when it loses?

Given that Kah rides for some of most successful trainers in Australia I find it hard to believe they get it wrong that often.

Come on…. If a jockey rides a horse perfectly and it loses, obviously not jockeys fault. 
If a horse is unlucky and jockey stuffs up, jockeys fault. 
 

if a horse wins, clearly better than rest of field regardless how ridden… that’s how I see Kah at times, just my view

Your anti-Kah bias clouds your judgement.  Her strike rate is currently better than JMac.

I wasn't saying that, merely pointing out it is an easier ride when the trainer has done their job right.

So in the context of Kah given she rides for all the top stables?

[Special Agent]

I have no problem with Jamie Kah's riding.  I'd say she's riding for top stables because she is winning and she's winning because she is riding for the top stables.

Very rarely do you see her make a huge error in judgement on the track.

[Special Agent]

I guess that is how you become more proficient at anything, by erring less.  However, some people never learn by their mistakes.

How many riders would you put in front of her in NZ?

Todays the Day Chief. (not for error but for heaps more wins )

Jamie gone home to her home State to ride today . Gunna ride the QUADDIE i'd say.

She's absolutely got an Imperatriz wing on both Jockey boots and is killing it.

 FANTASTIC Ride on Meridius just then in the CS Hayes , and not long to the Adelaide Cup now.

No matter how you map it she'll be winning with THE MAP in about half an hour in the Cup.

Get all your Ellerslie money on it now mate 😁 . KAH-Ching  💰Kah Ching 💰

Not many riders finishing in front of her today either. 

Having a ball at her old stamping ground of Morphettville.  37 degrees there today too.

Zac Spain went 2000m with no Irons in the Adelaide Cup after one broke a lap out. Was a jolly good effort and ran 4th !! fantastic bit of riding under trying circumstances. Never seen anything like it.

Oh now you've done it Gamma.  Here come all the "I remember when" comments.

Laura Tunnell was pretty spectacular in the Great Northern hurdles.

Well that is just next level 'Spectacular' ! thanks for the nomination of that one . amazing effort by that young lady .... here's a snippet >>

GUTSY Wanganui jockey Laura Tunnell was nursing a bruised, swollen knee at home yesterday after her incredible journey to win New Zealand's richest hurdle race.
The 22-year-old guided her old mate Starbo to victory in the $70,000 Lindauer Great Northern Hurdles, literally with a leg in the air.
With a round to go of the 4190-metre journey, the leathers holding her right stirrup iron came loose and dangled under the horse's belly for almost 2000m.
With just one foot in a stirrup, Tunnell gripped hard with her right knee to stay aboard and finish the race.
Safely over the last fence, Tunnell urged Starbo between horses to get up and win by a long neck in one of the most incredible rides in history and against what experts were calling the strongest northern field ever.
Racing scribes were immediately calling on every superlative known to describe Tunnell's gutsy effort.

Let’s see who is right, your obviously infatuated with her….

But I will say her career has well and truly peaked, all downhill from here. Australian trainers and owners want results

Seems Kah is getting better and better!

God, you only comment when she wins a couple, she was on good horses, no real surprises. 
 

Maybe comment when she gets beat on the hot pots….

Well on a short season due to injury she is doing alright and is improving as time goes on.

As I keep pointing out to you - on a short season and she is doing really well on the Victoria Jockey Championships Metro table.

I'd have Kah on my horse anyday ahead of Willow!
