Epsom race voided after false start

Jockeys in the totepool Supporting The Sport You Love Handicap at Epsom yesterday escaped punishment despite the runners completing the full five furlongs after a false start had been called.

The riders appeared not to notice the flag man on the track and the race carried on, with the George Baker-trained Humidor passing the post first in the hands of James Doyle, in a race worth £25,000.

A stewards’ inquiry was immediately called, which resulted in the race being voided.
