Lane aims to make history

MELBOURNE: From a homesick teenager who almost turned his back on Melbourne racing, 25-year-old Damian Lane is now on the verge of taking all before him in the showpiece spring carnival.
Lane is one race away from achieving an unprecedented feat.
The jockey won the Golden Slipper in Sydney in March and more recently the Caulfield Cup and Cox Plate in Melbourne.
No jockey has won Melbourne’s three biggest races in the one year and only seven have completed the ‘grand slam’ which includes the Slipper, over the course of their careers. – AAP
