Damian Lane cops eight meeting suspension
Damian Lane has been handed an eight-meeting suspension for careless riding at Mornington on Monday.
Lane, who leads the Victorian Jockey Premiership by 27 wins and the metropolitan title by 16, started serving his suspension on Tuesday and will return on June 18, making him available to ride at Sandown on June 19.
The incident occurred in the opening race at Mornington, where Lane’s mount, She’s Got Pizzazz, shifted in near the 400-metre mark, causing interference to Hot Chips, who was squeezed onto Stellar Madame. As a result, Stellar Madame was brushed and became unbalanced, leading to Lane’s suspension.
