Thats what you get when you have miserable tight arsed pricks masquerading as stipendiary stewards tommo.  None of them have been successful at anything, so have to impose their authority on people who are successful, like sammy. As we've said before, pick on the easy targets, lots of shit going down in races which they carefully turn a blind eye to...

You're wrong ata...

Jake had previous exuberant waving to his many girlfriends form...

...hence the upgrade...

First offence stuff...offending the Lutheran trained stipes is always 3 hundy...

Which funds a training camp on how to become robotic and non emotional automons

IMO Stipes are terribly inconsistent...the 'celebration' was muted and marginally before the line so should have been a warning ...whereas OP gets yet another warning for 'shifting in'  -ie taking another horse's line when not sufficiently clear - thats about the fourht warning in the last fortnight but no suspension when he's clearly ignoring the reprimands.

There's not much doubt that he's a protected species...

Not a week goes by on Way In that Bruce Sherwin says "Opee was lucky not to be charged"

The Avondale Guineas excuse was a pearler

"Bosson had to avoid the tiring horse on the rails so he's entitled to pull out and knock Platinum Invador over"

Pretty much word for word...

Maybe Davy Ellis is in the face of Oatham 24/7

"leave my boy alone...ok??"

So Earily gets stick into Gobder yesterday..

" poor sammy she was celebrating her first G1 win and you blokes slug her...wtf??"

Gobder....relly relly embarrassed by the sounds

"oh splutter splutter...welllll...it is what it is Petey...relly relly quiet week....again...though...eh"

The problem with a blanket rule like this is that it makes the Feds look petty.

Its nothing to do with safety at all...

Collett whipping with one hand off the reins is far more unsafe that a wee fist punch...which is what occurred 

The rule should simply change to 'unsafe celebration'

That would also save the JCA from looking like complete tossers as well

...as well as wasting Industry time and money convening a load of old bollocks panel with Black cloths over their noggins

ffs

Quality female riders who are showing how it’s done

Even without the exploits of the trail-blazing Rachael Blackmore over jumps, it’s been a significant few days for the cause of female jockeys internationally.

The 29-year-old Blackmore has been mixing it with the best riders for a couple of seasons now. She sits second in the Irish championship, and on Tuesday rode her first Cheltenham Festival winner.

But we are concerned here with women jockeys on the flat, and it should come as no surprise to TRC regulars that the momentum of last week came from down under.

Of the ten G1s run around the world over the seven days, two were won by women, both Jamie Kah in Australia and Samantha Collett in New Zealand achieving their long-awaited, and long-merited, first successes at the highest level.

Kah, 23, surged into the TRC Global Rankings top 200 for the first time with Harlem’s victory in the prestigious A$1.5 million TAB Australian Cup at Flemington. Watch the video below, and you’ll understand that this is a rider of rhythm and balance, style and power, one well capable of matching the best around in one of the world’s most competitive jockey arenas.

Perhaps you notice similarities with Steve Cauthen. She certainly reminds her former boss, South Australian trainer John Macmillan, of the great American. “When I was in England, the most stylish rider I thought I’d ever seen was Steve Cauthen, and Jamie rides exactly like him,” ex-jockey Macmillan told racing.com.

jamie-kah_08-01-19-mm-barrier-draw-mark-Kah (photo: Sharon Lee Chapman) gains six points for driving 30/1 shot Harlem home, and rises 60 places to #196, making her the third highest-ranked female in the world.

Which means the big decision she made in January, relocating from Adelaide (where she has won the premiership three times) to the more competitive, and potentially more rewarding, racing environment of Melbourne, looks like it’s going to pay off.

“Given the appropriate support she can go on with it,” Macmillan said.

Kah, whose parents were both Australian Olympic speed skaters in the 90s, thought long and hard about leaving Adelaide. “I didn’t want to move because Adelaide was home, but I thought, ‘I’m going to have to give it a crack’,” she said. “Even the first week after I moved I thought, ‘What am I doing here?’ I could see it was tough, and I was trying to work hard, going to trackwork every day and I was exhausted. But I just felt it was now or never.”

Sam Collett’s first Group 1 - aboard Glory Days in the Auckland Cup at Ellerslie (see video below) - was far more straightforward than Kah’s.

The victory means that Collett, the reigning New Zealand champion, has finally arrived in the TRC Global Rankings, coming in at #314, making her the seventh highest-ranked female in the world.

Collett was overwhelmed by all the congratulations for her achievement, but she hasn’t lost focus on her next couple of goals for the season. She is just seven wins short of reaching 700 career wins in New Zealand, and she is also in pursuit of breaking the century of wins for the season, which she did for the first time when taking last season’s premiership with 132.

“I’m well on the way to 100 again [with 72 wins],’’ she said. ‘’Another goal for later on is to get to 1,000 wins. That would be really special. I could relax then.’’

Like Kah, Collett has parents who have been high-achievers in sport, only in her case that sport is racing. Indeed, Jim Collett and Trudy Thornton created history 28 years ago when becoming the first husband and wife jockeys to finish 1-2 in a major race - and that was the same Auckland Cup that provided their daughter with her first G1 last Saturday.

Collett was only a year old when that racing history was made, and over the years both her parents have become multiple G1 winners. She had yearned for the day she, too, could experience her own G1 thrill, and that desire surfaced again last Saturday when rival Opie Bosson set a New Zealand record for the most G1 wins with a double on Yourdeel and Melody Belle.

“When Opie broke the record, I wondered what it would feel like to win just one of them, then I came out in the next race and did it. It’s the greatest feeling ever,’’ she said.

Trudy Thornton, meanwhile, is still riding successfully at the age of 55. She has tasted G1 success in 2019 herself, and is currently world-ranked 242 - still 72 places ahead of her daughter.

What about this the other day.

Jockey Jody Hughes fined $100 for early celebration in Ardlethan picnic race meeting

 

One jockey can count herself unlucky after being fined for a premature celebration at a picnic race meeting — despite being the sole runner in the race.

Apprentice Jody Hughes knew she was a good chance to pocket the prize money at the Ardlethan picnic meeting — about halfway between Narrandera and West Wyalong in southern NSW.

Hughes’ mount, March Ahead, was one of just two runners entered to contest race 2 — the Wally Halden Memorial over 1000m.

But when Manna Mil, the other runner, was a late scratching after refusing to go into the barriers, it left March Ahead the only runner in the race and able to cruise around the course to salute the judge.

Hughes did just that, guiding the Trevor Sutherland-trained gelding across the line.

However she was later stung $100 from stewards for making a celebratory gesture before the winning post on March Ahead.
