Schofield suspended but keeps Metrop ride

Glyn Schofield will be able to ride Avilius in the Group One Metropolitan after an impassioned plea for leniency on a careless riding charge.

Schofield was outed for a shift on Avilius whose win in Saturday’s Kingston Town Stakes earned him $2.80 favouritism for the Metropolitan on September 29.
