DQ's in Major Races

[slotdirt]

The Black Eyed Susan back in 2006 resulted in a DQ, and a questionable one at that.

Didn't Rock Hard Ten get DQ'd in his Santa Anita Derby?

Rock Hard Ten finished 2nd and was Dq'd to third. Also, Fran's Valentine was DQ'd from a win in the first BC Juvenile Fillies and left unplaced.

Gate Dancer was taken down from second in the first BCC, when it was Wild Again that should have been, if anyone at all was to blame.

Yes, I'm (very) biased but the head-on shot verifies that Wild Again came out more than GD came in. Slew O Gold paid the price either way but I've been bitter about this one for years.

Gate Dancer was DQ'd from second in the inaugural BC Classic.

Affirmed's disqualification in the '78 Travers was the second DQ in a row in that race, as Run Dusty Run was taken down from first in the '77 Travers.

A few others that I recall were Sky Beauty being DQ'd in the 1992 Spinaway, and The Wicked North in the '94 Big 'Cap.
