Jockey Daniel Staeck will miss the $500,000 Perth Cup (2400m) on January 1 due to a careless riding suspension.

Stewards slapped Staeck with a 13-day suspension for causing interference to Darlington Abbey when he rode Doubt You Catch Me in the Starstruck Classic.

Staeck was in the enviable position of having to choose whether to ride Kincaple or Knightlike in the cup.

Kincaple ran second to Ihtsahymn in the CB Cox Stakes and Knightlike ran second to Pop Culture in the ATA Handicap after winning the GA Towton Cup.
