Jamie Kah misses out on $40,000 in prizemoney after four of her rides win at Caulfield

Banned jockey Jamie Kah would have ridden four winners, including in the Group 1 Memsie Stakes, based on results at Caulfield, losing out on a big payday.

Anyone who thinks jockey Jamie Kah got off lightly for her Airbnb brain fade needs only to look at the financials from her lost rides at Caulfield on Saturday.

Kah and fellow riders Ben Melham, Ethan Brown and Celine Gaudray all started three-month suspensions on Friday.

Kah would have immediately felt the financial impacts on Saturday, especially as the field crossed the line in the $1m Memsie Stakes.

She lost the ride on subsequent Memsie Stakes winner Behemoth.

Brett Prebble will now be the happy recipient of $30,000 Kah would have earned as jockeys get five percent of prizemoney their mounts win.

Melham would also not have wanted to watch the Memsie Stakes.

His booking, the Adelaide galloper Beau Rossa, ran a brave second which would have earned him $9000.

Linda Meech pocketed $2060 that Kah would have received after the Will Clarken-trained He’s A Balter won the second race.

Bruckner’s win in the Group 3 McNeil Stakes would have also stung last season’s history-making premiership winner.

John Allen will get $6000 in winning percentages for steering the Ciaron Maher and David Eustace-trained colt to victory in the Group 3 McNeil Stakes.

Allen will also bank $3575 for winning the last race of the Caulfield meeting aboard Ayrton for trainers Mick Price and Michael Kent Jr.

The initial cost of Kah’s poor judgment? More than $40,000 in riding percentages and riding fees.

Of course, she would have had to pay tax and other expenses such as manager’s fees.

But she’d still have banked more in a day than most of us earn in three months had she not made such a bad choice during the week.

And that was only on the first day of the Melbourne spring carnival.

Kah would almost certainly have been booked to ride Behemoth if he had another crack at winning the Sir Rupert Clarke Stakes next month.

That race also carries $1m in prizemoney.

Kah might feel the full force of her offence in October when Ayrton runs in the $7.5m Golden Eagle in Sydney.

The winning rider will receive $205,000 for less than two minutes on the Rosehill track in the Golden Eagle.

But the financial aspect is only one part of the equation.

Kah will have to wait until 2022 for another crack at Australian racing’s ultimate prize – the Melbourne Cup.
