        jockey Shane Tronerud is hoping clear his name after being outed for eight Macau meetings
        for "failing to ride to the satisfaction of stewards." Tronerud's ride in the fourth race on Sunday came under scrutiny and
        stewards slapped a ban on the hoop which would have seen him out of the saddle until well
        into August. 
        But the Macau Jockey Club has confirmed that Tronerud has
        lodged an appeal against both the charge and that the "penalty imposed is
        excessive." 
        Tronerud will continue riding in Macau on a stay of
        proceedings before stewards choose a date for the appeal.  |
