Trouble At Mill

[Diamond Geezer]

Ballydoyle fillies Snowfall and Mother Earth ran in the wrong number cloths and with the wrong riders in the Fillies' Mile at Newmarket today according to Aidan O’Brien.

Wouldn't that mean disqualification?

Many years ago at a rotten day at Bath, a horse I used to follow religiously was walking round the paddock and had the wrong number on, I pointed it out to the groom.....no one had noticed, nor for the other horse either. Not from the same stable either. Not sure how it can happen really.

This is clear as Covid policy. If they had the wrong jockeys couldn't they have had the wrong weights? If they had the wrong saddles they'd have had the wrong weights. If they had the wrong jockeys surely they should be disqualified anyway.
So what is it or isn't it?
