Shinn, who has a long association with the Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott-trained English, had his hearing before he Racing NSW Appeal Panel on Thursday.

Had the appeal been unsuccessful, Shinn would have been out from October 2 until October 20, six days after the world's richest sprint race at Randwick.
