Damian Lane added yet another major to his growing tally on Saturday, piloting Treasurethe Moment to a stirring victory in the Group 1 Australian Oaks (2400m) at Randwick.

It marked Lane’s eighth Group 1 triumph of the season, but celebrations were soon tempered when stewards handed down a suspension and fine for breaching the whip rules during the win.

Lane pleaded guilty to excessive use of the whip, striking Treasurethe Moment a total of 20 times — ten of those coming before the 100-metre mark.

As a result, Racing NSW stewards hit the star hoop with a two-week suspension and a $10,000 fine.

Meanwhile, Blake Shinn was also suspended for careless riding aboard Nostringsattached in the Listed South Pacific Classic (1400m) on Day 2 of The Championships.

His suspension began on Sunday and runs through to April 22.
