LANE LANDS MONARCH

Gun jockey Damian Lane produced a gem of a ride to win with Future Monarch at Bendigo on Thursday. 

The leading hoop statewide added his 105th winner for the season after settling the four-year-old mare in the one-out, one-back position before lifting her over the line inside the final furlong. 

"They had gone a solid tempo throughout so I was mindful that she might be vulnerable second-up at the mile but lucky she is tough as I got to the lead early but she was able to sustain a strong gallop to the line," Lane said following the win.

"She always been a horse that has shown a bit, so hopefully she can get out of this grade and win in town."

The daughter of Pierro has now won three races and placed twice from nine career starts.
