Liliside team to appeal Guineas demotion

CONNECTIONS of Liliside have appealed against the decision of the Longchamp stewards to disqualify her from first place in the French 1000 Guineas.

The filly, owned by Anthony Forde and trained by Francois Rohaut, was first home by a head from Special Duty, with Rohaut’s other runner Baine just a neck away in third.

After a 75-minute inquiry, Liliside was relegated to sixth place, with Special Duty promoted to first.
