Punters cried ‘Cheat’ when Kieran Shoemark was denied a fairy -tale victory after a controversial stewards research – that bookies came in second place.
It looked like Shoemark, which earlier in the week lost his job as the No1 Rider of John & Thady GosdenHad won the French 1000 Guineas on the syndicated fireplace, she is perfect.
The Charlie Fellowes-Train Merrieveeulen, sent with 18-1, gathered strongly in the last Furlong and one half after he was on his way to the time to crack.
She was past the post for the first time and seemed to have taken the £ 250,000 first place by a nose on Longchamp Racecourse in Paris.
Photos were even taken from overgrowth connections that celebrate their big victory.
Until the investigation of a stewards was launched shortly after the finish after an objection from the former derby-winning rider Mickael Barzalona, Jockey of number two.
It was difficult to see the naked eye in real time, but although Shoemark did everything he could to keep them perfect on a real line, she stood on her left.
That led to a domino effect that Ryan Moore saw exactly short of the room, who ran on the path of 4-5 FAV Zaligana, who ran forever in the famous Aga Khan Silks associated with Shergar.
Unbelievable, Barzalona also dropped his whip, which means he resorted to hit his mandriffen with his hand for the last, crucial few meters.
Zaligana was forced so light from her true line – whether it was enough to make a difference for the result is a topic of hot debate.
But stewards clearly thought it was, in the end they decided to perfectly relegate Shes to second and a check of ‘only’ £ 100,000.
Punters were in the arms about the decision, with a report from the course that the owners remained ‘visibly shaken’.
To his honor, the trainer Francis-Henri Graffard of Zarigana said, it wasn’t the way he wanted to win.
But the result was finally and robbed fellowes of his first group 1, the British syndicate A Dream Win and Shoemark Redemption after the week out of hell.
Fellowes said: “We got so close. It is heartbreaking because I really needed a big win. Winning a classic – that’s the dream of my life.”
While Graffard said: “We don’t like winning races in this way, and I feel sorry for the Shes perfect team.
“But this is racing. To be honest, my mandriffen was unbalanced at the worst possible moment, and in the end we only talk about a nose.
“I am really happy for Blessa.
“But it’s hard to feel joy, I feel more enlightenment.”
A report in the Racing post Said cries of ‘cheat’ and ‘shame’ then called around the housing of the winner.
While then a load of gamblers stood in their arms – although others thought the turning of places was justified.
Those gamblers who bet on the race with Paddy Power and Boylesports, were winners anyway, because they released as winners, both Blessa and Shes perfect.
