Angela Jones suspended after Eagle Farm treble which hurts her premiership hopes
Angela Jones' Eagle Farm treble saw her snatch the lead in the Brisbane jockeys' premiership, but her title hopes were dented by a suspension from the Group 1 Tatt's Tiara. Jones' tremendous trio of winners gave her a one-win lead over good friend and fellow jockey Emily Lang. But there was a sting in the tail late in the day with stewards grilling Jones over her ride on fifth-placed favourite Floozie in the Group 1. • PUNT LIKE A PRO: Become a Racenet iQ member and get expert tips – with fully transparent return on investment statistics – from Racenet's team of professional punters at our Pro Tips section. SUBSCRIBE NOW! Stewards also had winning jockey Tom Sherry in the room, in an inquiry into Jones shifting out on Floozie and Sherry shifting in on winner Tashi, going past the 200m mark. Runner-up Abounding and roughie Bubba's Bay were the meat in the sandwich in the incident. Jones pleaded not guilty, insisting to stewards that the shift from Sherry on Tashi had 'more than half'' the bearing on the interference. 'I don't think it's worthy of a charge,' Jones said. Stewards disagreed, charging Jones with careless riding and suspending her for 10 days to start after next Saturday's Winx Guineas meeting on the Sunshine Coast. Chief steward Josh Adams said the shift from Sherry had been taken into consideration when imposing Jones' penalty. The riding ban is the last thing Jones needed on the day she hit the lead in the Brisbane premiership race and she seems almost certain to appeal to the Queensland Racing Appeals Panel. Immediately after imposing Jones' suspension, stewards had Sherry back in the room. They found he was only 20 per cent culpable for the incident and issued the former Irishman with a severe reprimand. It somewhat soured a great day for Jones, who also surged past 100 winners for the Australian racing season.

Kin's Classic catch has Jones primed for Group 1 breakthrough
Queensland jockey Angela Jones warmed up for her upcoming Group 1 assignment with a well-executed ride on Kin to take out the Gai Waterhouse Classic (1200m) at Ipswich on Saturday. The impressive ride for powerhouse stable Goldolphin was another confidence boost for Jones as she hunts the first Group 1 of her career after going agonisingly close in the recent Kingsford Smith Cup when denied by a brilliant come-from-behind ride from superstar hoop James McDonald on Joliestar. The victory also narrowed the gap in the metro jockeys' premiership race as Jones moved to 56 wins, just three behind Emily Lang, who triumphed earlier on The Right Way in a Benchmark 78 over 2500m. • PUNT LIKE A PRO: Become a Racenet iQ member and get expert tips – with fully transparent return on investment statistics – from Racenet's team of professional punters at our Pro Tips section. SUBSCRIBE NOW! It is fitting that Jones won the $160,000 contest named in honour of racing royalty Gai Waterhouse given that the 24-year-old and Lang are dominating this year's Brisbane jockeys' premiership. Jones said she was 'over the moon' that she could notch a win in the royal blue colours of Godolphin, with top trainer James Cummings about to end his long association with the racing giant before heading to Hong Kong next year.

Kin finished just under a length ahead of Countyourblessings ($21) and hot favourite Gerringong ($2.80), which was trapped wide for most of the race after starting from barrier 12. 'I'm very grateful to have rides on these colours, let alone on chances in Listed races,' Jones said about jumping aboard five-year-old mare Kin. 'I'm over the moon that I could get the job done and the blinkers really sharpened her up today. 'We had a beautiful run from a good gate and I thought my job was done when she was travelling so well in the early stages. 'Once I peeled out she had a beautiful turn-of-foot and she put them away quite impressively.' Asked about the Tatt's Tiara, Jones said: 'Sometimes it slips my mind and then I think about it and realise that the (winter) carnival is still here and hopefully we can knock off that Group 1 this year, it'd be great. 'Hopefully we can keep the roll on.' READ: 'That's their Melbourne Cup': Dolan delivers on Oughton in Eye Liner Stable representative Camille Fitton described Jones' performance as 'the perfect ride'. 'Angela has been helping us out a lot and she deserved that win,' Fitton said. 'She does some gallops for us and some trips to the beach so we are happy that she got the win today. 'She had the perfect ride. We were thinking that she (Kin) would be sharper today but she just needed a little boost with blinkers and it just worked out really well for.'

Unexpected chance for Emily Lang to score biggest career win
Don't miss out on the headlines from Horse Racing. Followed categories will be added to My News. Emily Lang is poised to snatch an incredible slice of riding history and become the first female jockey to claim the Brisbane riding title … and now she has an unexpected shot at her biggest career win. It seems inevitable that history will be created in Brisbane this season with apprentice Lang (57 wins) and Angela Jones (50 wins) leading the city title race ahead of James Orman (45) who is now riding in Hong Kong. Next in the race are Andrew Mallyon and Bailey Wheeler, both with 42 wins. Lang, who is apprenticed to champion trainer Tony Gollan, has enjoyed a breakthrough season and has won a pair of Listed races but never a Group race. She now gets an unforeseen chance to scoop her biggest career win when riding Boomtown Boss for Gollan in the rescheduled $300,000 Group 3 Fred Best Classic at Doomben on Wednesday. • PUNT LIKE A PRO: Become a Racenet iQ member and get expert tips – with fully transparent return on investment statistics – from Racenet's team of professional punters at our Pro Tips section.
