English and Irish multiple champion race mare Snow Fairy tested positive for an anti-inflammatory medication and as a result was disqualified from her victory in the Aug. 19 Darley Prix Jean Romanet (Fr-I) at Deauville Racecourse in France.

"Snow Fairy has required medication to help with her tendon injury," trainer Ed Dunlop told The Racing Post. "Unfortunately the withdrawal period was longer than we had been advised. We would like to offer our sincerest apologies to all concerned parties."

Izzi Top, who finished second to Snow Fairy, has been awarded the race for trainer John Gosden and jockey William Buick.

Prior to the Prix Jean Romanet, Snow Fairy had not started since winning the Queen Elizabeth II Commemorative Cup (Jpn-I) in Japan last November due to ongoing injuries. The 5-year-old daughter of Intikhab is owned by Cristina Patino, who races in the name Anamoine Limited
