Jockey Bretham (Brett) Tai has died in a single car accident after riding at Newcastle on Saturday.

The 37-year-old Singaporean recently arrived in Australia where he was sponsored by John McNair and was based at the trainer's Central Coast property.

His wife, brother and sister-in-law arrived in Australia on Monday and were met by Racing NSW's Maurice Logue and racing chaplain Colin Watts.

Racing NSW said unconfirmed reports were that the car may have swerved to avoid an object and collided with a pole.

Earlier that day Tai had ridden Sun Command into fourth place for McNair in the first race at Broadmeadow.
