Luke Currie was suspended for using the persuader above the regulated limit last week while Daniel Moor was suspended for his whip use in his winning rider on Stone Warrior in the Nick Johnstone Real Estate Handicap (1400m).

Moor pleaded guilty to using his whip 12 times, seven times more than allowed, before the 100m.

Stone Warrior got home by a long neck before Moor received a six-meeting penalty for his efforts.

Moor's suspension will begin after the jockey rides in an invitational race in South Korea on Sunday and will end at midnight on September 16.
