Jamie Kah is now free to ride on the day that offers more prizemoney than any other in Australian racing after altering the dates of her suspension handed down by the Victorian Racing Tribunal last week.
Kah was outed for three weeks for failing to take all reasonable and permissible measures to obtain the best possible finishing position aboard Let’Sfacethemusic in the Group 3 McNeil Stakes at Caulfield on August 31.
Kah initially requested the suspension start after this Saturday, but this week applied to have the dates altered.
“Please be advised that the Tribunal has granted an application by Ms Kah to amend the commencement date of her three-week suspension,” the VRT said in a statement on Wednesday.
“The suspension will now commence at midnight on Friday, 27 September 2024, and conclude on Friday, 18 October 2024, allowing her to ride again from Saturday, 19 October 2024.
“It is noted that this application aligns with the nine-day deferment period.”
Kah is certain to be in demand on October 19 with the $20 million The Everest headlining the Randwick card and the $5 million Group 1 Caulfield Cup to be run in Melbourne.
Kah has the ride on one of the leading fancies in Friday night’s feature race at Moonee Valley, the $2 million Manikato Stakes, to partner Blue Diamond-winning filly Hayasugi.
