I wish Kathy all the best and while I'm sure she's not alone I know she really loves her job. I recall meeting her once and someone asked what she does in her spare time and she replied she goes and rides horses. After 4am starts and working hard in trackwork her down time was riding. She's a great jockey and and great personality and hope she back riding soon.

Both the number of calls and the penalty seem excessive. Looking forward to whole story.

She was fined $2500 in 2010 And $1000 with 2 weeks suspension in 2016. Then she gets caught doing it another 65 times. Either she’s crooked or stupid beyond belief. I’m ok with 3 months. |

Jockey Kathy O'Hara has been suspended for three months after being found guilty of using her phone on 65 occasions during race meetings over the past 12 months.
O'Hara, who was previously charged under the same rule, was caught out at Kembla Grange races on August 8. O'Hara has lodged an appeal against the heavy penalty. Meanwhile her partner, Chris Waller's Racing Manager Charlie Duckworth, was fined $2000 after stewards found him guilty of knowingly messaging O'Hara during a race meeting, and engaging in a conversation. Duckworth is also appealing the ban. During the enquiry stewards noted that there were no racing integrity issues. * Comments have been turned off due to the ongoing nature of the enquiry |

Was she caught 65 individual times or did they check her phone and found she had done it. Why are their phones in the room. 3 months is an incredible lengthy suspension. |

Not sure how they ascertained 65 times, but it’s stated that it was over a 12 month period.
Yeah, it is lengthy, but it’s warranted imo. The rule is there for a reason. I’m also surprised they don’t deposit their phones on their way in. But the other couple of hundred jocks don’t seem to have a problem with self control. |

What’s Duckworth’s excuse?
“No, it’s ok mate. I’m Chris Waller’s Racing manager. I’m just sending the missus some instructions.” Is he ‘only’ a dozen or so of the 65?... is there an expectation of celebrity privilege? |

They searched her phone and could match the dates and times of messages sent/received to when she was at race meetings. Hence the investigation taking a month

Three months is far to severe, she did no harm with the calls, what is the problem ? She is an underrated rider .

Kathy spends a lot of time training and showjumping/eventing her horses. I think she has at least three ex racehorses on the go. Energy plus 💪 She really comes across as a true animal lover and seems to me to be as honest and genuine as they come 🌟

Well so many young people are addicted to their phones! We have the trouble on the roads when so many still can't leave them alone. And I also believe she's honest and hard working.

Yep. And the rules are NO MOBILE USE IN THE JOCKEYS ROOM!, Are you defending a 13yr old addicted to FB? |

It’s not like this is a new rule either.
It’s been around FOREVER!! Back in the day you couldn’t even have a phone on the racecourse! |

No just saying it's happening everywhere even when rules say don't do it. I don't you don't but it's like there whole life revolves around that piece of merchandise. Sometimes rules are there to stop something - like betting or beats to croonies etc for the jockeys. So how do you get a girl to put a phone down! Harder than you think. Pretty sure she wasn't using it for beats either. Some of them just use them to play games or chat with friends. Hope she doesn't use it in the car though. I find that much more dangerous.
