Racing: Dar Re Mi has been demoted into fifth in the Qatar Prix Vermeille at Longchamp, with runner-up Stacelita declared the winner. John Gosden's filly was first past the post, but was adjudged to have caused interference with another runner.

The French stewards ruled that Jimmy Fortune’s mount had interfered with Soberania.

They demoted Dar Re Mi to into fifth, meaning Jean-Claude Rouget’s Stacelita preserves her unbeaten record.
