    Agree 100%...he was a very good rider before he left...i feel with the way he has conducted himself over there he would have now done the growing up that he couldn't have achieved in our fish bowl... He will be one of our best jocks...that rarely rides in WA!!! :(

    A real credit to himself and his family

    Damian Lane has out-ridden his claim for the second time in a week after partnering the Danny O’Brien-trained Keep Cool to victory in the Comic Court Handicap (2000m).

    Lane, who was first past the post on Green Roller at Moonee Valley on Friday night before losing the race on protest, joked that he was much more confident of keeping the race this time around.

    “I’ve out-ridden my claim previously for fifteen minutes but it’s good to do it today,” Lane said.

    “The horse went really well, he beat a decent little staying field of inform horses.

    “He didn’t have much luck at Moonee Valley and the blinkers today really switched him on, it was a good win.”

    Settling in third position behind Tuscan Fire ($4.60), Lane waited until the home straight before angling off the leader’s back and asking Keep Cool for his final effort.

    Despite taking the entire straight to run him down, Keep Cool prevailed by a head at the finish over Tuscan Fire with a similar margin to Elusive King ($6) in third.

    Speaking after the victory, O’Brien paid tribute to Lane’s ride saying

    “Once you can ride them like that, you probably don’t need a claim anymore,” O’Brien said.

    “He’s a horse that can lay-in and not really stretch into his finish so it was a really good piece of horsemanship to get him across the line.”

    Damian copped 11 days suspension on Friday night so todays 4 winners is a bit of a sweetener for him.
    Well done Damian, just shows what dedication can do.
