Lane signs off in style

8 months ago

Star Australian jockey Damian Lane farewelled Japan in style on Wednesday when he guided Omega Perfume to victory in the 2000-metre Teio Sho – a local grade Group 1 – at Tokyo City Keiba.

Omega Perfume – the third favourite – won by 1.25 lengths on the dirt track.

Local grade G1s are considered Listed-level events by the International Stud Book.

Lane's feature win added to Group 1 triumphs aboard Normcore (Victoria Mile in Tokyo in May) and Lys Gracieux (Takarazuka Kinen at Hanshin last week) in Japan.
