Meeznah disqualified from Oaks

MEEZNAH has been disqualified from the Investec Oaks after having tested positive for a banned substance.

The David Lanigan-trained three-year-old finished a neck second behind Snow Fairy in the Epsom Classic on June 4, but that has now been stricken from the record.

A British Horseracing Authority disciplinary panel officially disqualified Meeznah yesterday after a post-race urine sample taken from the filly contained a metabolite of acepromazine (ACP), which is a prohibited substance.
