The British Horseracing Authority has apologised "to everyone affected" after it was forced to overturn a result from Kempton on Friday evening. Bird For Life was on the night announced the winner of a mile-and-a half handicap, in which 10-11 favourite was adjudged to have finished a nose away in second after a photo-finish. However, after further viewing the result has been retrospectively changed and the placings reversed. Brant Dunshea, director of integrity and raceday operations for the BHA, said: "Clearly the whole team is disappointed to have to correct any race result after the day. The BHA added that, as a long-term goal, it has "already committed to improve accountability for decisions made on the racecourses".
