Clint Harvey in trouble after Kalgoorlie bar brawl
Prominent jockey Clint Harvey and racehorse owner Ron Beacham have found themselves in trouble over a game of pool that turned nasty in Kalgoorlie yesterday after the Boulder Cup meeting was abandoned.
One man was injured when a glass was smashed over his head and had to be taken to hospital.
Harvey and Beacham will face court on Thursday and several jockeys who were present at the Exchange Hotel remained in Kalgoorlie to be questioned.

No jockey had a pool cue or a glass dungy... A scuffle, like I said. It happens in every pub at some stage. Nothing will happen to these jocks involved. Been blown out of proportion.. Again. Stupid comment dungy.

Nobody was hit over the head with a glass..... Don't believe everything you read in a newspaper mate!! It was an argument that turned into a scuffle. No jail time needed. That's just stupid talk...
