Wildflower
Trish Dunell
Wildflower has been stripped of her third placing in the Gr.1 Auckland Cup (3200m).
Following the Ellerslie feature, the mare returned an elevated reading to cobalt, which was contained in a supplement trainers Graham Richardson and Gavin Parker administered in accordance with veterinary advice.
The Matamata trainers pleaded guilty to the rule breach and were fined $6000 by the Racing Integrity Unit.
As a result of Wildflower’s Cup disqualification, Alinko Prince has been promoted to third.
