In the first Callow appears to ridicule a man while holding a slice of pizza and says 'you stink' while demanding he take a shower. In the other, a man believed to be Callow is cycling down the street. He deliberately rides through a group of people before shouting disgusting racial slurs in their direction.

He has been stood down from racing and had his riding licence suspended in full, pending the outcome of the stewards' enquiry. A statement read: "The Queensland Racing Integrity Commission (QRIC) has today convened a Stewards' Inquiry and issued two charges under Australian Rule of Racing AR 228(a) against licensed jockey Mr Noel Callow. "The charges relate to conduct alleged to have occurred approximately one year ago while Mr Callow was not riding at, or attending, a race meeting and was not at any racecourse. "It is alleged Mr Callow engaged in conduct prejudicial to the image of racing. "Acting under AR 23(a), the Stewards have suspended Mr Callow's jockey licence in full, pending the outcome of the inquiry. "Mr Callow has been informed of his right of appeal in respect of this decision. "QRIC takes matters concerning conduct, welfare, and integrity seriously and will continue to ensure all participants are held to the highest professional and behavioural standards." Famed jockey Callow was recently in trouble with stewards after getting knocked out in a fight he started with a rival jockey. He has been given the right to appeal the two charges but is yet to comment as he seeks legal advice, according to reports in Australia.

Noel Callow stood down by Queensland stewards over racist video rant
Don't miss out on the headlines from Horse Racing. Followed categories will be added to My News. By Ben Dorries and Gilbert Gardiner Group 1-winning jockey Noel Callow has been charged by racing stewards and stood down from riding in the wake of a racially-fuelled video that has been circulating of him ridiculing an Indigenous man. News Corp revealed on Thursday that a street talk-style exchange, understood to have been recorded in Darwin last year, was being investigated by Queensland stewards. On Friday, the Queensland Racing Integrity Commission charged the controversial jockey with two charges of conduct prejudicial to the image of racing. The matter was adjourned by stewards to allow Callow to seek legal advice before he enters a plea to the charges. • PUNT LIKE A PRO: Become a Racenet iQ member and get expert tips – with fully transparent return on investment statistics – from Racenet's team of professional punters at our Pro Tips section.

'The Queensland Racing Integrity Commission (QRIC) has today convened a Stewards' Inquiry and issued two charges under Australian Rule of Racing AR 228(a) against licensed jockey Mr Noel Callow,' a QRIC statement reads.

'QRIC takes matters concerning conduct, welfare, and integrity seriously and will continue to ensure all participants are held to the highest professional and behavioural standards.' Noel Callow has been stood down over a racially-fuelled video that has been circulating. It means Callow cannot fulfil his rides during the Darwin Cup carnival, with Nash Rawiller replacing him on Bear Story in Monday's $200,000 Darwin Cup. Callow – with five Group 1s to his name in Australia – had only just returned to riding after being banned for a physical altercation with fellow Group 1 winning jockey Kyle Wilson-Taylor in the jockeys' room during a race meeting in the Queensland winter carnival. With big-race wins all over the world including a prolific stint in Singapore, former Victorian Callow moved to Queensland several years ago and was starting to re-establish himself as a serious riding force in the metropolitan scene. In the street talk video, Callow engaged with an Indigenous man rather playfully at first, 'what's doing crackers', then proceeded with insensitive commentary on hygiene and culture. In a separate 17-second clip, which also came to the attention of racing authorities this week, Callow is heard but not pictured in the frame. Callow it appears filmed the vision riding a bicycle on a footpath, holding a jockey whip in the left hand, and fired off offensive racist four-letter slurs at two pedestrians after inaudible verballing. After more than two months out of the saddle, Callow made a winning return to racing this week when riding Stormfront to victory in Darwin for Gold Coast trainer Peter Robl.
