Stewards set to resume inquiry into altercation between jockeys Noel Callow and Kyle Wilson-Taylor during Stradbroke week
The stewards inquiry into a physical altercation between two Queensland jockeys is likely to be resumed in Stradbroke Handicap week. Group 1 winner Noel Callow has been sidelined under concussion protocols after being involved in the altercation with fellow Group 1-winning jockey Kyle Wilson-Taylor in a dramatic incident at the midweek Doomben races on May 28. A stewards inquiry kicked off on the day but was unable to take evidence from Callow who had left the course to seek medical attention. Wilson-Taylor insisted he had not been the initial aggressor. Senior steward Geoff Goold confirmed to Racenet that it was the intention to reconvene the stewards' inquiry on Tuesday at Doomben. Meanwhile, young jockey George Rooke was suspended for 14 days for careless riding after an incident in the Group 1 Queensland Oaks at Eagle Farm on Saturday. Rookie, a British-born jockey who has called New Zealand home for several months, was riding Kiwi filly She's A Dealer in the Oaks. She's A Dealer finished fifth behind Oaks winner You Wahng but caused interference to Real Class (Andrew Mallyon) passing the 350m. Meanwhile, Victorian jockey Jamie Mott was suspended for 11 days for careless riding as stewards reconvened an inquiry into an incident in the Group 1 Doomben 10,000 on May 17.

Police release image after hit-run in West Melbourne left pedestrian with two broken legs
Police are appealing for assistance after a Chinese national on holiday in Melbourne was struck in an alleged hit-run and left with two broken legs. Emergency services responded to reports of a blue Subaru Liberty hitting a male pedestrian near the intersection of King and Batman streets in West Melbourne about 10pm on Wednesday, May 28. Melbourne Highway Patrol Senior Constable Mitchell McWilliam said the vehicle had been travelling north along King Street, when it hit a man who had been crossing the road from a median strip. He said CCTV footage showed the driver of the Subaru briefly applied the brakes, before taking off. "The driver has not stopped at all, not provided any assistance and continued north on King Street out of the city, leaving the scene of the accident and leaving that person on the side of the road," Senior Constable McWilliam said. He said the 30-year-old man had sustained two broken legs, and remains in hospital after undergoing surgery. "[The pedestrian] is over from China, visiting some family he's got living here," he said. "He was planning on spending a couple of weeks in Australia and visiting family and having a good time, and as a result of this now he's stuck in hospital with some pretty life-changing injuries." Police have released CCTV footage and an image of the car believed to be involved, in the hope of tracking down the driver to get their version of events. "The person that's done this knows that they've done this and I'd like to have them have a really hard think about what type of person that makes them to leave someone for dead in the gutter — it's pretty low," Senior Constable McWilliam said. Anyone with information or dashcam footage should contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or via

French woman allegedly concealed 10kg of meth in suitcase
A young French woman allegedly concealed 10kg of methamphetamine in her suitcase on a flight from Paris to Perth. The 18-year-old was travelling from Paris when Australian Border Force officers selected her for a baggage examination at Perth Airport. A white crystalline substance was allegedly found in five sealed plastic pouches inside her suitcase. The substance tested positive for methamphetamine during initial testing, with an estimated weight of 10.7kg. Her phone, suitcase and its contents were seized by the Australian Federal Police (AFP), with police to allege she'd planned to travel to Sydney. She was charged with one count of importing a commercial quantity of a border controlled drug, of which there is a maximum penalty of life imprisonment. AFP Inspector Matt Taylor said 'criminal activities are not welcome in this country'. 'The AFP's aim is to disrupt all levels of the drug trade and the criminals attempting to profit at the expense and suffering of the Australian community,' Inspector Taylor said. 'Even in small amounts, drugs such as methamphetamine cause immense harm to users and the community around them, through the impact on the health care system and associated crime. 'Our message is simple to anyone involved in the drug trade – your criminal activities are not welcome in this country.' The young woman fronted Northbridge Magistrates court on April 26 where she was remanded to reappear on Friday.
