Jockeys allegedly get into trackside fight that left one so badly injured he has been barred from racing for at least 12 days
A pair of Australian jockeys are under investigation after they were alleged to have been involved in a trackside 'physical altercation' prior to a race. Queensland Racing are currently investigating emerging young rider Kyle Wilson-Taylor and Group One veteran Noel Callow following the alleged incident, which is said to have taken place at Doomben on Wednesday. The governing body also confirmed that Callow had been taken to hospital for medical treatment following the spat. While the details of what caused the fight are still unclear, it is understood that tempers flared due to an 'ill-feeling' between the pair, according to Racenet. Callow had been due to race in the seventh race at Doomben but was scrubbed from the race by doctors had found him not fit to ride. A stewards' report from Doomben was published on Thursday which provided more details on the veteran jockey's absence from race seven. 'The start of this race was delayed by approximately five minutes when rider N. Callow, who had weighed out for this event, was then subsequently stood down after being examined by the club doctor and found to be unfit to fulfil his remaining engagements,' the statement read. The report added that 'medical clearance was required (including concussion protocol)' before Callow, who has resurrected his Group One career, could race again. Kim Kelly, the Deputy Commissioner for Queensland Racing's Integrity Commission delivered more information on the fight on Wednesday evening. 'I can confirm that a stewards' inquiry has been opened into a physical altercation between two riders at the Doomben race meeting today,' Kelly said. 'A considerable body of evidence has been taken and the matter was adjourned to a date to be fixed to allow a rider who was taken from the course for medical treatment to give evidence.' Wilson-Taylor has, per Racenet, insisted he was not the aggressor in the situation. Callow, a well-revered jockey who is also known affectionately as the 'King' is now set to be sidelined for at least 12 days as he works through concussion protocols. That means he will not be able to ride Our Benefactor in the Bevan Laming's Group One Queensland Derby on Saturday. Wilson-Taylor, meanwhile, is now set to race on the Sunshine Coast on Friday and at Eagle Farm on Saturday, where he'll ride Redford in Race Two, Star Vega in the Queen Elizabeth II Cup and Sassy Merlot in the Helen Couglan Stakes. Wilson-Taylor has enjoyed some success in the senior jockey ranks after rising up as an apprentice in Queensland.

Post-race jockey reports from the 2025 Doomben Cup
Queensland superstar Antino became the first local horse in more than 40 years to win the $1 million Group 1 Doomben Cup (2000m) at Doomben on Saturday. Antino's victory was the first by a Queenslander since Lord Seaman won the weight-for-age contest in 1983. The race was billed as a two-horse war between Antino and reigning Australian Racehorse of the Year Pride Of Jenni but it fizzled into a one act affair, with Pride Of Jenni beaten turning for home when Antino went on by. Antino strode clear to win running away by 3-3/4 lengths with Fawkner Park finishing second ahead of Kovalica. Pride Of Jenni was beaten 11 lengths and crossed the line in 10th. Antino is an absolute star! The Queenslander dominates the Doomben Cup for @tonygollan ðŸ�† @blake_shinn — SKY Racing (@SkyRacingAU) May 24, 2025 The win was Antino's 13th from 26 starts and took his earnings to more than $3.1 million. This is what the riders thought of their mount's performance in the Doomben Cup. â– â– â– â– â– 1st – ANTINO (Blake Shinn) He's some horse. He told me when he wanted to get rolling about the half mile when I just pulled him off Osipenko's back and it was time to go and, yeah, it was a great feeling. He went from about seven (lengths) off them to have the race at his mercy about the 400m and I knew he'd keep that gallop up. It's great for Queensland racing to witness Antino at his best here today. It's great for Tony Gollan, and it's great to showcase a horse of his ilk. It's special to be on him. 2nd – FAWKNER PARK (Ethan Brown) Great run. He was just a bit awkward into stride. Shuffled back a bit further than what I would have liked but the way the race panned out, I don't think it really mattered. Antino was too good on the day. Good effort and he'll be suited of over 2200 next start. He is capable of turning the tables under the right circumstances. 3rd – KOVALICA (James McDonald) He ran well. 4th – MILITARIZE (Tommy Berry) He's going well. He just looks like he's looking for further now. Still hitting that flat spot from the 1600 to the 1400 and then he was really good in the straight. Something like the Q22 would suit. 5th – BOIS D'ARGENT (Ryan Maloney) He ran his good, usual honest race. Probably just a bit too sharp for him when the pressure went on. 6th – KLONDIKE (Matthew Poon) Really happy how he ran. Just a little bit further, I expect. He tried hard and ran well. Next start a bit further, he'll run much better. 7th – OSIPENKO (Kerrin McEvoy) He ran a good race. He was wide the trip and stuck on. He was quite brave. 8th – MISS JOELENE (Cejay Graham) Her toughest task to-date but I thought she ran a cracker of a race . She didn't love that horse three-deep laying in on her. She hit a bit of a flat spot at the 600 (metre mark) but she was tough late. 9th – ELIYASS (Tim Clark) Probably a little bit disappointing again. I did have to do a bit of work early from that gate in what was obviously a very fast run race. That left him a bit vulnerable late. 10th – PRIDE OF JENNI (Craig Newitt) Disappointing. She was a little bit cantankerous pre-race today, probably just in front of the crowd. She stepped slow so I had to ask her to muster up and she got into a good rhythm and everything was fine. Got to about the 1000 and started to quicken her up – a little bit like Flemington a couple of starts ago – got to the bottom pretty quick. She showed a bit of fight when straightening but when Antino went past so quick, it was almost like the white flag went up. 11th – LINDERMANN (Nash Rawiller) He had a couple of tough runs which brought out the best of him. Not everything went right the other day with that heavy track and he's shown a few signs that he's got to the end of it. 12th – MY OBERON (Jason Collett) Soft enough run but just had that distance too far.
