Kah opens up about spring carnival ban
4 years ago - Sportingbase
Melbourne-based star jockey Jamie Kah spoke about the “massive mistake” which led to her missing out on the entire spring carnival for breaching COVID-19 rules last year.
On Saturday, she rode Zaaki to victory in the $5 million All-Star Mile at Flemington but the criticism after the ban was a tough period in her life.
Kah and four other jockeys, Mark Zahra, Ben Melham, Celine Gaudray, and Ethan Brown were banned after a house party at an Airbnb in Victoria.
In a podcast with Mark Howard, she told The Howie Games that she is in a happy place, admitting she can’t please everyone in life.
In reflection, she has made social decisions to cut down her friend’s group, focusing on family and those she “trusts”.
The three-month ban was enough for Kah to understand how tough it was to be away from the sport.
