The Quashed 2yo or Maiden Fillies Stakes at Warwick lasted from 1975-84. It was run in April at a meeting that used the names of good fillies from the past.
Quashed was the 33/1 winner of the 1935 Oaks and the Jockey Club Cup. The following year she dead-heated for the Great Metropolitan Handicap at Epsom. Imagine a classic winner running in a 2m2f handicap nowadays! With one exception, she was conceding between 24 and 39 pounds to her 18 opponents. After that she landed the Ormonde Stakes (qv), the Ascot Gold Cup and the Jockey Club Cup (qv) again. In total she won ten of her twenty starts.
Her dam was Verdict who, because an early-19th century ancestor’s lineage could not be proved, was regarded in some technically-minded quarters as a half-bred. This was despite her winning the Cambridgeshire, the Coronation Cup and six other races and having a host of other good horses in her family tree. The family was not admitted to the General Stud Book until the 1960s.
