  • Stranded Kah Compounds Misery for Punters

    Thursday, 8th July 2021

    Wednesday’s meeting at Sandown in Melbourne produced one of its larger crowds for some time as metropolitan centurion aspirant Jamie Kah approached the day armed with a full book of rides, needing just a single winner to make history. Her rides, and placings, comprised Scientific ($5 – unplaced), Murrumbidgee River ($2.35 – third), Write The Score ($2.90 – unplaced), So Risque ($3.60 – third), Heaven’s Gift ($4.40 – third), Invincible Lad ($4.80 – unplaced), Part Time Lover ($8 – unplaced) and National Choice ($3.50 – unplaced). For Kah, seemingly unflappable, it must have felt like the equivalent of an elite Test cricketer having seen the Kookaburra like a giant red balloon for months, only to find it had morphed into a little red Skittle at Sandown. It would also have been a long day at the office for those punters who had taken the $1.10 about Kah riding any winner on the card to reach her century. With another 24 days and close to a potential 50 rides, Jamie Kah remains in the box seat to claim three figures in Melbourne, a feat that to date has eluded every Victorian jockey in history.
