“I’m very humbled by the support and opportunities I get, and you’re only as good as the horse you are riding,” she said. Kah’s parents, John and Karen, are former Olympic speed skaters who raised their daughter on a 200-acre property outside Adelaide. Horses were always part of the family. She began showjumping in her youth, and represented Australia at the Mounted Games in England in 2010. Kah switched to racing at 14, working for trainer John Macmillan. After a few years of competition which provided some challenges, Kah took a break in 2015 working overseas, showjumping and riding trackwork. Returning refreshed, the jockey was committed to working even harder than before. It has paid off in spades. Now, in addition to racing, Kah and fiance Clayton Douglas run Bradlee Park, offering training, re-training of retired racehorses and spelling. Rehoming is a particular passion, and she has recently taken in the Tony and Calvin McEvoy-trained Dollar For Dollar.
