Jungle Edge has been banned from racing after he bled at Flemington

Crowd favourite Jungle Edge has been banned from racing for three months after bleeding from both nostrils at Flemington today.

The Mick Bell trained Jungle Edge has been handed a three month ban from racing after vets reported the horse bled from both nostrils following his run at Flemington.

Jungle Edge will now be sent for a long break before returning in the Autumn where he is likely to have his last racing campaign.
