Kah and her fiance Clayton Douglas, a fellow jockey and trainer, have a property on the Mornington Peninsula, where she re-trains retired racehorses.
They have each been fined $5452 for breaching the directions of the Chief Health Officer.

Jamie Kah’s partner is Clayton Douglas. Clayton, like his companion Jamie, is a professional jockey. They are not only partners in their personal lives but also in their working lives. Jamie and her partner Clayton are soon seen competing in a variety of races with considerable prize money. There isn’t any information about their relationship, such as how long they’ve been together, but they do own a property on the Mornington Peninsula where they train their retired horses.
Suspension:
Star jockey Jamie Kah has issued a statement regarding her involvement in a COVID protocol breach this week.
Kah apologised for attending a house gathering at a Mornington Airbnb property, with fellow jockeys Ben Melham, Ethan Brown and Celine Gaudray also present, along with two other unlicensed people.
The Melbourne premiership-winning jockey said she was ‘deeply embarrassed’ over her behaviour.
Ben Melham:
Star jockeys Jamie Kah and Ben Melham will miss the spring carnival after being hit with three-month bans for an illegal gathering in Mornington.
The multiple Group 1 winners, along with young guns Ethan Brown and Celine Gaudray, copped the sanction on Friday following a closed stewards inquiry.
It comes as the quartet was fined more than $5000 by Victoria Police for the breach of Chief Medical Officer directions.
