Will the Josies Orders - On The Fringe Double get paid out now ?
Any Currency now looks like being stripped of his Festival victory after triamcinolone acetonide (TCA) and its hydroxylated metabolite were found in a urine sample taken after the race.
The British Horseracing Authority will stage a hearing, at a date yet to be arranged, at which the disciplinary panel will have to decide whether Keighley is in breach of the rules of racing and if Any Currency should be disqualified.
TCA can be legitimately used for horses in training for various therapeutic purposes, but it is a prohibited substance on racedays which means it must not be present in a horse's system.
Should Any Currency lose the race, runner-up Josies Orders, trained by Enda Bolger and ridden by Nina Carberry, will be promoted into first place.
