Jockey Ric McMahon has been granted a stay of proceedings after appealing a three-month suspension for improper riding.
Queensland Racing Limited stewards found McMahon guilty of an improper riding charge at an inquiry on Thursday into his ride on Haslington at the Gold Coast on Boxing Day.
The John Morrisey-trained Haslington finished third to Coming Up Trumps in a 1400-metre maiden.
Stewards charged McMahon for allowing Haslington to shift away from the inside rail which gave Coming Up Trumps a run to his inside.
Haslington went under by a short neck and a length.
No date has yet been determined for McMahon's appeal hearing.
McMahon's suspension follows a two-month suspension handed down to Sydney apprentice Daniel Ganderton over his ride on Deer Valley at the Gold Coast last Saturday.
The Lonhro filly finished sixth in a 1200-metre three-year-old race just two lengths from the winner, the Gillian Heinrich-trained Sweepstaking.
Stewards found the 21-year-old apprentice guilty of failing to take all reasonable and permissible measures to give the Steele Ryan-trained Deer Valley every chance.
Ganderton has also appealed and been granted a stay of proceedings.
