DQ's in Major Races

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.

Equipoise was DQ'd from wins three different times in his career -- including once in the Met Mile...and he ran during a time when you could get away with a lot of stuff.
