If something had gone badly wrong with New Approach, they wouldn't be delaying the decision they would have already declared him a non runner. If he lines up, I think we are likely to see the same 1-2-3 as we saw at Epsom. I don't really see any reason for the form to be overturned. The track is likely to suit New Approach more than Epsom did and the state of the ground should be perfect for him.

Well, there goes my theory out of the window. New Approach out of Irish Derby.
That should leave it fairly easy for Tartan Bearer.

Im trying to think if there is any country where the winner would get thrown out simply because of the actions of a horse in the same ownership..?

alessandro volta placed 4th and tartan bearer put up to 3rd.. How did the stewards not put Alessandro Volta behind Curtain Call, as he absolutely stopped him in his tracks.. you guys say your stewards are bad,, this is just plain stupid... i cant actually believe it...
and just to note, thats now the 2nd Irish Classic this year where ive put on a large place only bet and its been placed only to be subsequently dqed. (fully merited this time though, not the 1st time!!)

I missed the race, what exactly happened?
Yet another winner for Ballydoyle, they will be taking over the world before long.
