Blake Shinn has careless riding ban reduced

Blake Shinn has had a six-meeting careless riding suspension reduced to four on appeal.

Racing NSW stewards found Shinn guilty of shifting out on I Thought So at the 700m in a race at Randwick on May 26, causing another runner to be checked.

The Racing NSW Appeal Panel on Tuesday agreed with the conviction but shaved two meetings off the ban.

Shinn will now be out from Sunday until Friday June 15.
