Ben Melham has appealed the careless riding suspension which threatens to keep him out of the Caulfield Guineas meeting.<\/p>\n

Fellow Group One-winning jockey John Allen has also appealed the severity of a careless riding ban he incurred at the same Ballarat meeting on Thursday and he would need to get his eight-meeting ban reduced by one to be free to ride at Caulfield next Saturday.<\/p>\n

Melham was suspended for nine meetings on Thursday and lodged an appeal against both the decision and the severity.<\/p>\n\n

Both jockeys’ suspensions are due to start after Saturday’s Turnbull Stakes meeting at Flemington, with their respective appeal hearings set for Monday morning.<\/p>\n

Melham needs at least two meetings shaved off the ban to be free for the Caulfield meeting which features four Group One races.<\/p>\n

Melham is the regular rider of Caulfield Guineas contender Levendi and has been slated to ride Irish horse Johannes Vermeer in the Caulfield Stakes.<\/p>\n

Johannes Vermeer, trained by Aidan O’Brien and part-owned by Lloyd Williams, is in quarantine at Werribee.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
