Walker suspended for careless riding

Sydney

Friday 7 August 2015, 11:50am

Kiwi jockey Michael Walker will spend more time on the sidelines after receiving a seven-meeting suspension for careless riding at Seymour on Thursday.

He is free to ride at Flemington on Saturday where he has three rides, but will miss next week's Group Two P.B. Lawrence Stakes meeting at Caulfield.

The suspension compounds a frustrating run for Walker who was kept out of the saddle in June and July with a back injury.

Walker's rides at Flemington include the David Hayes and Tom Dabernig-trained Churchill Dancer in the N O'Mara and T Jolley Handicap over 1000m.
