Sixth horse past the post wins

THE first five horses home were disqualified for taking the wrong course in an amateur riders’ race at Towcester yesterday and the £2,555 prize was awarded to the sixth horse to finish.

The drama unfolded in the gg.com Amateur Riders’ Handicap Chase.

First past the post was the 7-2 co-favourite Lord Broadway, trained by Malcolm Babbage, but the prize went to the 20-1 shot Stormhill Stag, from the Richard Lee stable.
