Melham and Symons suspended at Caulfield
Jockeys Ben Melham and Chris Symons have been suspended for separate incidents at Caulfield.
Melham received a 10-meeting ban for careless riding aboard Adirondack in the VOBIS Gold Heath after shifting in passing the 1800m, causing Stephen Baster’s mount Hard Call to steady.
Symons was outed for eight meetings after riding Je Suis Tycoon in the VOBIS Sires.
His penalty stemmed from a careless riding charge near the 300m when Luke Nolen’s mount Wanted Diva was steadied.
Symons received a two-meeting discount with stewards deeming his interference in the low range with Melham’s regarded as mid-range.
Both jockeys will commence their suspensions after riding at Flemington on Tuesday.
