Chief Stipe Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 Michael Walker will appeal the severity of a Sandown suspension that threatens to rule him out of a Group One ride in Sydney. Walker is booked to ride Brave Smash in the Canterbury Stakes at Randwick on March 9 along with Aquis Farm-owned two-year-olds Dubious in the Todman Stakes and Queensland-trained filly Vincere Volare in the Reisling Slipper Stakes. He was handed a 10-meeting suspension by Racing Victoria stewards at Sandown yesterday for careless riding after winning aboard Eighteen Carat. Walker pleaded guilty while stewards deemed the interference in the mid-range. The ban begins after Saturday’s Australian Guineas meeting in which Walker rides Extra Brut for Ciaron Maher and David Eustace, and it ends after racing on March 11. To be able to ride at Randwick the previous weekend, Walker will need the suspension reduced to seven meetings.
