Davy Russell has lodged an appeal against the five-day ban he was given at Clonmel for taking Phillip Enright's whip during a race.
Russell was riding the Charles Byrnes-trained 8-13 favourite Leave At Dawn in the Powerstown Handicap Hurdle, while Enright was aboard 33-1 shot Backinyourbox.
Russell dropped his whip after his mount made a bad mistake at the first obstacle and television coverage showed him appearing to take Enright's stick before the runners jumped the second flight.
Both horses finished well down the field, with Leave At Dawn a disappointing eighth and Backinyourbox further back in 12th position.
The stewards found Russell and Enright in breach of Rule 272, which is related to bringing racing into disrepute, and were handed five-day suspensions.
Irish Turf Club press officer Cliff Noone said: "We have had Davy Russell's appeal.
"They had until 5pm Saturday to lodge it and it will then be picked up first thing on Monday morning."
