![]() Cropp to fight ban Bart Sinclair June 12, 2007 12:00am Article from: ![]() Font size: + - Send this article: Print Email NZ rider Lisa Cropp was devastated after Eagle Farm stewards suspended her for three months on a charge she had cost her ride Lilakyn a Brisbane Cup victory. Cropp was last night found guilty of not riding her mount right to the finish line yesterday. She had given a celebratory wave of her whip and stood high in the irons on the line as she believed Lilakyn had won the cup. A photo-finish declared Newport the winner by 2cm. "It was absolutely past the post. You can clearly see I have ridden right to the line," Cropp told chief steward Reid Sanders. "The angle of the video is not great. I have rode her to the line and went up in the same motion. I pushed down to make sure I had her head extended." Sanders said the panel considered several factors in reaching a decision. Cropp, who has ridden 130 winners this season in New Zealand and holds a 14-win lead in their premiership, said she would appeal. |
