    Looking at the list of past winners of the Queen Anne ,i saw that the first three horses were disqualified in 1974,Does anyone know the reason why,I've tried in vain to find out without any results

    "An amazing race in 1974 saw the first three horses home - Confusion, Gloss and Royal Perogative - disqualified for causing interference and the prize was awarded to the fourth, Italian challenger Brook, trained by Mario Benetti and ridden by Brian Taylor who also won on Ardoon (1976) and Jellaby (1977)."

    Funnily enough I googled it and the first thing that came up was this post.

    Thanks Ron thats weird for 3 horses being diqualified for interference.I was thinking on the lines of the weigh in might have been the problem.
