There was drama on day two of the Galway Festival after a Jessica Harrington-trained winner was disqualified following an identity mix-up.
Newcomer Alizarine ran out a cosy winner of the Colm Quinn BMW Irish Fillies Maiden, producing a fine burst of acceleration to see off 5-4 favourite Twinkle by a length and three-quarters in second.
