The reference to the incident in the report said there was an 'adjourned inquiry into an 'incident post race (six).' And the report stated that, before race seven: 'The start of this race was delayed 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.' It also stated a 'medical clearance was required (including concussion protocol)' before Callow was permitted to ride again. Racenet broke the news on Wednesday that stewards were investigating a physical altercation between the jockeys, which came after ill-feeling between the pair escalated at Doomben. It is understood Wilson-Taylor insisted that he had not been the aggressor in the initial incident. • Clinton Payne's Queensland Derby tips, runner-by-runner form analysis Wilson-Taylor, who broke into the elite Group 1 club when he scored in the Tatt's Tiara on Palaisipan in 2023, has three rides at Eagle Farm on Saturday. Callow, with five Australian Group 1s to his name, has collected big-race wins all over the world, including a prolific stint in Singapore. The larrikin jockey they call 'King' has returned to being a formidable metropolitan riding force in recent times, but says after he first arrived in Queensland many trainers thought he was in semi-retirement. Queensland stewards did not take evidence from Callow on Wednesday as he left the course to seek medical treatment. Stewards have adjourned the inquiry, which took a considerable volume of evidence from other riders and racing officials, to a date and time to be fixed. They want more time to complete the inquiry to allow further investigation into the incident and to gather more evidence.

As was fellow top level-winning rider Kyle Wilson-Taylor, report Racenet. Their scrap was said to have erupted during a heated argument after a race at Doomben in Australia on Wednesday. Kim Kelly, Deputy Commissioner for the Queensland Racing Integrity Commission, said: "I can confirm that a stewards' enquiry has been opened into a physical altercation between two riders at the Doomben race meeting. "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." Racenet report that Wilson-Taylor, 25, insisted he did not start the fight. 'King' Callow, 49, who became an Uber driver during one break from the sport, has been stood down for medical reasons. It is believed that Wilson-Taylor is fit and well enough to continue riding pending the outcome of the probe. It is not clear what did or didn't happen in the race to spark the scrap. And any punishments will have to wait until the investigation is concluded. Callow is one of the biggest names in Australian racing - but his career has been a series of ups and downs. Amid a series of bans he banged in five Group 1 wins and enjoyed a lucrative and prolific stint in Singapore. Wilson-Taylor is at the opposite end of the racing spectrum in that he is continuing to make a name for himself on the big stage. But his big breakthrough came in the 2023 Tatt's Tiara aboard Palaisipan, a victory worth just shy of £250,000. Fights breaking out between jockeys, while they don't happen often, are nothing new.

Cool Archie now on winter carnival Group 1 path after Dalrello Stakes win at Eagle Farm
Legendary former jockey Chris Munce is hoping he has a Group 1 contender on his hands after young colt Cool Archie produced a tough win in the Dalrello Stakes at Eagle Farm. Munce did it all in the saddle as a Grand Slam-winning jockey and is no stranger to Group 1 winter carnival success in recent times, having become a Group 1-winning trainer when scoring the 2023 Tatt's Tiara with Palaisipan. In training partnership with son Corey, Munce looks to have a promising winter carnival prospects with two-year-old Cool Archie who became a stakes winner at Eagle Farm on Saturday. Cool Archie made it two straight since returning from a summer carnival campaign which culminated in him finishing midfield in the Gold Coast Magic Millions 2YO Classic in January. Cool Archie started the $4.40 second pick in the Dalrello, the 1000m scamper where Matt Dunn's resuming colt Torque To Be Sure was backed for a stack, officially from $3.10 into $2.90 but there had been $6 available earlier in the week. 😎 A tough win to Cool Archie in the Listed Dalrello Stakes at Eagle Farm! @munceracing | @BrisRacingClub â€' SKY Racing (@SkyRacingAU) May 3, 2025 The two top picks settled down to fight out the Dalrello and at one point Torque To Be Sure appeared to have the race at his mercy as he cruised up in the straight. But Cool Archie would not be denied and fought out a gritty win under jockey Martin Harley. It might have been a 1000m dash but Munce is hoping he can get Cool Archie to the riches of the Group 1 JJ Atkins (1600m) on Stradbroke Handicap day next month. Cool Archie, who races in the colours of prominent owner Max Whitby, firmed from $51 to $26 in JJ Atkins betting after scoring the Dalrello. 'He's the quietest horse,' Munce said. 'You could put a child on him and he wouldn't turn a hair. 'I was a bit surprised to see him in the parade ring bouncing like he was. 'I'll tell you what, he's a tough little horse. 'He was always going to go on that Sires' and JJ (Atkins) path, so he'll go to the Spirit Of Boom Classic in two weeks' time.' Harley said he didn't know what it would take to win the JJ Atkins but he had every faith in the colt. 'He pricked his ears and when Torque To Be Sure came alongside him, he got on with it,' Harley said. 'To be honest, every question you ask him he answers. 'I don't know what it takes to win a JJ but I'd be happy to stay on him for sure.'
