Lane rides winner on return to Aust racing

Damian Lane has taken no time to hit winning form in his return to Victorian racing

Damian Lane has taken no time to hit winning form in his return to Victorian racing, riding a winner at Pakenham with his first ride since a successful stint in Japan.

Lane rode 38 winners, including two Group One victories on the JRA circuit, during his two-month stay in Japan which ended in late June.

He took a break from riding ahead of the start of the new racing season in Australia which started on Thursday.

This year’s Golden Slipper-winning jockey, who hadn’t ridden in Australia since April, had two mounts at Pakenham.

He got on the board immediately on the John Price-trained Paperboy.

His second ride for the day, Sizzlesun, was unplaced.

Lane has four rides at The Valley on Saturday, Melbourne’s first city meeting of the 2019-20 season.
