The Osborn family named a wine after their favourite stable fellow, The Footbolt Shiraz. In Coonawarra, two majestic bronze stallions rampantly greet visitors to the beautiful Rymill winery. These life size beasts feature prominently on the Rymill label and Rymill also has a price friendly ‘Yearling’ range.

Wolf Blass is the bow tie wearing German who can be thanked for helping the Barossa Valley star on the world stage. His passion for wine is matched only by his passion for thoroughbred racing. With more than 350 winners against his record and Group One success with Grooming, Wolf is no stranger to the track. He regularly hosts wine lunches at the Gawler and Barossa Jockey Club.

SPRING FITNESS

“I PREFER TO EXERCISE INSTEAD OF SITTING IN A SAUNA, BUT I COMMONLY DEVELOP SHIN SPLINTS FROM ACTIVITIES LIKE RUNNING. WHAT I LOVE ABOUT YOGA – AND PARTICULARLY HOT YOGA – IS IT GETS YOUR HEART RATE GOING BUT IT’S NOT HIGH IMPACT.”

WHY SOME LIKE IT HOT: STRETCH INTO SPRING WITH HOT YOGA

I

t’s the fitness regime so hot that countless celebrities and sports stars swear (or sweat) by it.

Hot yoga—whether it’s Bikram or a fusion of methods—has become hugely popular across Australia and around the world in recent years.

Jennifer Aniston, Madonna, Andy Murray and David Beckham – along with local sporting heroes such as South Australian jockeys Clare Lindop and Krystal Bishop – are just some of the stars who include hot yoga as an integral part of their weekly fitness regime.

Those who are devoted to the practice say hot yoga has all kinds of benefits.

Some say the heat allows you to become suppler and go a little more deeply and safely into the postures.

Many feel that working in heat helps the body relax, improves breathing (which helps conditions like asthma) and focuses the mind, which develops better mental concentration.

Some also say that working in a heated room elevates the heart rate, which makes the body work harder.

While this fact is debated, what does boost metabolism is working our muscles – so if you’re doing that in hot

THE RACES QUARTERLY SOUTH AUSTRALIA

yoga, or in any yoga at all, great!

The safety of hot yoga is something which has often been questioned because some believe the temperatures can cause dehydration and heat exhaustion or lead to muscle damage. However, studies have found the extreme heat is no more strenuous on the body than taking a class in a room with lower temperatures.

It can be hard for people to ignore the beads of sweat running down their body, but it’s important to remember that the body regulates its temperature, so there are generally no physical dangers of practising yoga

SPRING FITNESS| 15

“SINCE STARTING HOT YOGA TWO YEARS AGO MY STRENGTH AND BALANCE HAS IMPROVED AND I ALSO FIND IT’S GREAT FOR RELAXATION – IT HELPS ME FORGET ABOUT WORK AND ANY OTHER ISSUES I MAY HAVE HAD THAT DAY.” South Australian apprentice jockey Krystal Bishop.

“I’M A HEAVIER JOCKEY AND BECAUSE WE RACE ALL YEAR ROUND I NEED TO ENSURE I FOLLOW A STRICT ROUTINE TO KEEP MY WEIGHT DOWN.”

in the heat – the roadblock is simply in your head. Whether you want to reduce stress, improve flexibility and balance or increase endurance and strength, there are certainly physical and mental benefits to be gained from taking part in any type of yoga class.

In the short term it’s likely you will sleep better, feel happier, be less injury prone and have more energy.

In the long term, like with any form of regular exercise, you will generally see overall improved physical and mental health.

If you’re going to give hot yoga a try, remember to ensure you are wellhydrated before taking a class and always re-hydrate properly afterwards.

Like with “regular” yoga, hot yoga comes in all kinds of different styles.

Here’s a snap shot of two of the more popular ones: BARKAN: The Barkan Method is based upon the Hatha yoga tradition which is a fusion of movement with breath, postures and dynamic sequences which invigorate the whole body. It is built on many of the poses and philosophies of Bikram Choudhury and Bishnu Ghosh, but integrates postures from other styles of yoga to create much more variation and greater range of motion.

BIKRAM: Take a sequence of 26 therapeutic yoga postures, two breathing exercises, one large room heated to a balmy 37-40 degrees and you have Bikram’s hot yoga. The workout (commonly 90-minutes) is designed to work every part of the body – from massaging the internal organs, flushing out the cardiovascular system and stimulating the endocrine and nervous systems, to toning and stretching a range of ligaments and muscles in the body. www.adelaideyoga.com.au

“I’M LUCKY – I DON’T HAVE TO WORK SUNDAYS, BUT IT’S NOT LIKE WORK – IT’S DOING WHAT I LOVE.”

THE RACES QUARTERLY SOUTH AUSTRALIA

JAMIE KAH| 17

ATOBRILLIANT FINISH AN AMAZING START I

f you meet Jamie Kah, she’ll be smiling. And why not?

After her first full season in the saddle, and just 17-years-old, Jamie is the newly crowned SA Metropolitan Jockey of the Year, which makes her the first female apprentice to ever win a senior premiership on the Australian mainland.

“I’ve always wanted to do something with horses,” she said. “I started riding as soon as I could walk and joined Pony Club very early.”

Pony Club wasn’t just for fun. It led to Jamie representing Australia at the International Mounted Games in England when she was 15.

it’s a world away from what most other 17 years olds are doing.

Jamie went to Trinity College until Year 10 when she decided to take a very different course.

“I’m living a different world now. My school friends don’t really understand it.”

Jamie’s parents, who were both Olympic speed skaters, certainly do.

She’s also been awarded the prestigious John Letts Medal as well as three awards for Apprentice of the Year in the categories of Country, Metropolitan and State.

Being so experienced with horses also gave Jamie an advantage when she started her apprenticeship – allowing her to get into ‘proper’ work earlier.

In all she rode home 101 winners, at about a 15% success rate, capping it off with a brilliant treble at her last meeting of the season at Morphettville.

Despite always having a love of horses, Jamie didn’t know anything about racing until she started work with her neighbour – trainer John MacMillan – in 2011.

“Half way through the season I set a goal to get 100 winners and it was incredible to reach that,” she said.

“A friend from Pony Club introduced me to John and I started doing stable work with him,” she said.

“I’m very excited about the premiership, it hasn’t really hit me yet. It’s pretty cool.

“A year later I started my apprenticeship and in April 2012 John gave me my first winner at Clare.

On the rare occasions she’s not working she likes to “do something different” like ride her horses at home – often ‘Goober’ a two-year-old slightly-uncoordinated ex-racehorse – or go to a showjumping competition.

“Clare will always be my favourite racecourse.”

Of course, horses will be very much a part of Jamie’s future.

Like every other apprentice jockey Jamie has – and still is – putting in long hours of hard toil.

“It’s every jockey’s dream to win the Melbourne Cup so hopefully one day that will come,” she said.

She is up before the sun rises six days a week, riding horses and working with trainers – trying to secure rides for upcoming meets.

“I’d also like to travel overseas and ride in places like England and Singapore.”

“I had a rough spot around June when I didn’t have a winner for a while which was tough because I thought that was the end of my chances.”

But of course the wins returned and now she’s so busy she’s had to take on a manager.

“It does make things a lot easier,” she smiled, acknowledging the whirlwind she’s at the centre of.

It’s been an undeniably impressive debut, but no-one should think it’s just fallen into Jamie’s lap. There’s a lot of experience and sheer hard work behind her new success.

“I’m lucky – I don’ have to work Sundays,” she laughed. “But it’s not like work – it’s doing what I love.”

It’s anything but the glamorous side of racing that most of us see, and

“Mum and dad have been very supportive,” she said.

“Before I got my driver’s licence they would drive me into work every day, and they now come to every race meet.”

Horses are even part of Jamie’s spare time.

While most other 17-year-olds are going to the movies, partying and studying, this young lady is celebrating success and planning for more of the same.

After just 18 months in the saddle, Jamie Kah is now a business – and it’s proving to be a winner.

SPEED SHEAR

4WD TOURS

On Sunday, October 6 the town will host Shear Magic at the Jamestown Hotel. You can catch all of the action of the speed shearing competition at the Jamestown Hotel with heats kicking off at 3pm.

If you’re keen to head off the highway, just north of Jamestown in the Mannanarie Hills is an 18 km 4WD trail (rated intermediate).

Allow an hour and a half to enjoy the scenery from the top of Mt Nadjuri (with amazing views of Jamestown, Caltowie and Gladstone).

GOLF Why not try for a hole in one at Jamestown’s 18-hole, par 70, golf course. This challenging and welldesigned golf course is set in the scenic Bundaleer Forest Reserve. It has an Australian Course Rating of 67 and is 5,796 metres long. Green fee players are very welcome ($5 per person).

BUSH WALKING OR MOUNTAIN BIKING IN BUNDALEER FOREST Whether it’s cycling, walking hiking, golf or tennis, Jamestown is the place to be active.

With great climbs and breathtaking views, the Bundaleer Forest is becoming increasingly well known as a place to walk and cycle.

The 33km Bundaleer Trail loops from Jamestown to Bundaleer Forest, and onto the Mawson Trail, then returns via a Sugar Gum plantation at the north of the forest.

Or try the Mannanarie Cycle Trail which takes cyclists from the plains of the southern Flinders Ranges through the Mannanarie agricultural district to Mount Lock.
