Liverpool Ladbrokes Grand National Meeting Third Day Saturday April 1st 1978

Which horse finished 3rd in a British Group Race but after a Stewards enquiry and an objection by the 2nd to the winner was then placed 1st?

Vacarme finished 1st in the 1983 Richmond Stakes at Goodwood but after a Stewards Enquiry was placed last and the race awarded to 2nd placed finisher Creag-an-Sgor with Godstone (originally 3rd) moved up a place to 2nd.

However, following an objection by Geoff Baxter (the rider of Godstone) to the promoted winner Creag-an-Sgor the placings were reversed… Godstone became the winner and Creag-an-Sgor was demoted to 2nd.
