A bitter fallout to the $10m Golden Eagle has erupted after a chaotic finish unfolded behind winner Obamburumai at Rosehill on Saturday. Josh Parr made good on his late call-up to take out the 1500m feature for easily the biggest win of his career, but elsewhere the jockeys’ room was not an entirely happy place.
Chaos erupts with 300m to go in $10m Golden Eagle. One-time Cox Plate winner Damian Lane was fuming after a rough finish to the race aboard $3.70 favourite Amelia’s Jewel. The horse was crowded - or “pole-axed”, according to trainer Simon Miller - near the 300m mark in an incident that saw Strait Acer jockey Tyler Schiller punished by Racing NSW stewards. “I’m glad I came back in the jockeys’ room alive,” Lane said in a damning assessment.
