He was fined a further $300 after failing to claim his 2kg allowance aboard Bit Of A Lad in a later race.

Stockdale said he was frustrated with Maid To Measure after wasting in a bid to ride at 52kg later on the program, which led him to him punching the filly post-race.

He told stewards it was something that would not happen again.
