Jamie Melham suspended, ruled out of Group 1 Coolmore ride

Jamie Melham will miss the ride on Satono Glow in the Coolmore Stud Stakes on Victoria Derby Day after being given a four-meeting suspension for careless riding on Saturday.

Melham was found guilty of careless riding at 300m mark in the Sydney Stakes when  Marhoona interfered with Coal Crusher on her way to being runner-up to Grafterburners.

Melham will take the Cox Plate on Caulfield Guineas runner-up Blind Raise before taking the suspension and will be able to ride in the Melbourne Cup.
