Tuscan team contest demotion

John Murphy will today lodge an appeal against the decision of the Curragh stewards to demote Tuscan Evening from second to fourth place in the Boylesports Irish 1000 Guineas.

Tuscan Evening was one of the big outsiders for Sunday’s fillies’ Classic at 66-1 but belied her fancy odds, staying on strongly to get within a head of the winner Halfway To Heaven at the line.
