AAP
Blake Shinn will miss two major autumn carnival meetings after failing to ride out a mount at Canterbury.
Racing NSW stewards charged Shinn after $1.35 favourite Danzie finished third in the the TAB Handicap (1550m), a nose behind second placegetter Budderoo Knight.
"He stopped riding a stride and a half before the post," said Racing NSW deputy chief steward Philip Dingwall.

He also misses the Group One Randwick Guineas on March 10.
His ban starts on March 1 and he can resume riding on March 15.
