Last updated: 9/23/15 3:14 PM


A panel of the British Horseracing Authority on Wednesday reversed the
results of the September 12 St Leger (Eng-G1) at Doncaster on appeal.

On the day of the race, Simple Verse (Duke of Marmalade) was disqualified
from first and placed second behind Bondi Beach (Galileo) for stretch
interference. An appeal was lodged by the connections of Simple Verse and has
been won.

Simple Verse now becomes the first filly to win the fifth and final English
classic since User Friendly in 1992.
