Tie Black holds onto title

Last updated: 5/27/06 9:05 PM

Javier Gispert's TIE BLACK (Machiavellian)

will retain her title in the May 14 Poule d'Essai des Pouliches (Fr-G1) after it was announced

that

the connections of PRICE TAG (Dansili [GB]) had lost their appeal of her

disqualification

from first to third.

Khalid Abdullah's filly was judged by the Longchamp

stewards to have

interfered with the eventual third Impressionnante (Danehill) in the closing stages en

route to her defeat of Tie Black. After a hearing on Wednesday, officials at the

ruling body

France-Galop's headquarters upheld the stewards' decision.
