Nikita Beriman has been suspended at Flemington after having been successful on appeal in getting a careless riding ban overturned.

After successfully fighting a careless ban at the Racing Appeals and Disciplinary Board, jockey Nikita Beriman  ended the day with a suspension at Flemington.

Beriman appealed a suspension incurred at Tatura on Saturday at the RAD Board on Wednesday morning that saw a 12-meeting suspension overturned.

However she wasn't as lucky in the final event at Flemington when Racing Victoria stewards alleged she allowed Mr Churchill to shift-in near the 1400m mark.

Perfect Rhyme , ridden by Ethan Brown , was forced to check along Laughing Heir , ridden by Jamie Mott .

Stewards suspended Beriman for 12 meetings commencing after the Benalla Cup meeting on Friday.

She can return to race riding on October 7.
