The stewards inquiry into a physical altercation between two Queensland jockeys is likely to be resumed in Stradbroke Handicap week.

Group 1 winner Noel Callow has been sidelined under concussion protocols after being involved in the altercation with fellow Group 1-winning jockey Kyle Wilson-Taylor in a dramatic incident at the midweek Doomben races on May 28.

A stewards inquiry kicked off on the day but was unable to take evidence from Callow who had left the course to seek medical attention.

Wilson-Taylor insisted he had not been the initial aggressor.

Senior steward Geoff Goold confirmed to Racenet that it was the intention to reconvene the stewards’ inquiry on Tuesday at Doomben.

Meanwhile, young jockey George Rooke was suspended for 14 days for careless riding after an incident in the Group 1 Queensland Oaks at Eagle Farm on Saturday.

Rookie, a British-born jockey who has called New Zealand home for several months, was riding Kiwi filly She’s A Dealer in the Oaks.

She’s A Dealer finished fifth behind Oaks winner You Wahng but caused interference to Real Class (Andrew Mallyon) passing the 350m.

Meanwhile, Victorian jockey Jamie Mott was suspended for 11 days for careless riding as stewards reconvened an inquiry into an incident in the Group 1 Doomben 10,000 on May 17.
