O'Neill and Sanders pick up bans

Dane O’Neill picked up a three-day ban (July 30, 31 and August 1) for using his whip with excessive frequency aboard the victorious Devious Ayers at Brighton today.

The Milton Bradley-trained gelding had recorded a 66-1 shock in the Constellation Wines Selling Stakes.

Seb Sanders was also banned for one day for the same offence (July 29) after partnering runner-up Mpenzi in the Blakes Butchers Fillies’ Handicap.
