Photo: Bradleyphotos.com.au 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. Horse racing news View the full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
