The owners of 'Ortensia' today appealed against their mare's disqualification from first placing in the Group One Galaxy at Randwick on April 17.
The Racing New South Wales Appeal Panel dismissed the case, and stood by the stewards original decision.
Ortensia was disqualified following the detection of the prohibited substance 'Ractopamine' in a post race urine sample taken from the mare following the running of the The Galaxy.
The Appeal Panel confirmed the order of the stewards acting under AR177 that Ortensia be disqualified from first placing.
'Shellscrape' will now be awarded with the win, pleasing the connections of the winning horse, but not necessarily the punters who may have backed him.
