JAMIE KAH

The daughter of Australian representative Winter Olympic speed skaters, Jamie Kah has become a leading rider initially in Adelaide.

She started her apprenticeship in 2011 with the first winner at Clare in 2012. Kah had notched 40 winners within six months and by the end of her first full season (2012/13) she had won the Adelaide Jockeys' Premiership, the first apprentice to do so in almost 20 years.

Taking some time off over the next few years, she returned to Australia after riding work in England for trainers like Sir Michael Stoute and Jeremy Gask.

Having initially struggled on that return, she then set a record for most wins by a female jockey in an Australian season in 2016/17, ending the campaign with 129 wins.

After winning the Adelaide Jockeys' Premiership for a third time in 2017/18, she moved to Melbourne in January 2019, to further her career and landed her first G1 on Harlem in the Australian Cup at Flemington in March.
