Jack Martin appeals careless riding ban
AAP
Apprentice Jack Martin has appealed the severity of a careless riding ban from a winning ride at Sandown.
Martin was suspended for eight meetings on Wednesday after pleading guilty to shifting in at the 1100m mark of a 1600m race on White Devon, causing the eventual runner-up to be steadied.
Stewards suspended Martin for eight meetings - two city and six provincial - with the ban to begin after he rides at Caulfield on Saturday.

The apprentice has three rides on Saturday including last-start Sandown winner Fully Maxed in the VOBIS Gold Ingot.
