CONNECTIONS of Pretty Polly Stakes runner-up Stay Alert have lodged an appeal against Saturday’s Group 1 result in which the Hughie Morrison-trained filly suffered interference behind ready winner Via Sistina.

A spokesperson for the Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board also confirmed to The Irish Field on Tuesday morning that winning jockey Jamie Spencer has lodged his own appeal against the severity of a six-day careless riding suspension handed out over the incident.
