updated= January 14, 2008Quashed (foaled 1932) was a British-bred and British-trained
thoroughbred racehorse, winner of theEpsom Oaks in 1935.For many years, the Verdict family was not accepted into the
British Stud Book because Quashed's dam was effectively a half-bred and it was not until the 1960s era of theJuly Cup winnerLucasland that the family's merit persuaded the authorities to review their opinion about its eligibility. But though Quashed may not have been granted a presence in the GSB, she could not be prevented from racing and by the time she retired at the end of 1937 she had won ten races worth £19,096. Chief among these was theAscot Gold Cup in 1936, when she beat the American horse Omaha by a short head after a tremendous battle. She also won theEpsom Oaks - having started at 33-1 - theOrmonde Stakes andJockey Club Cup . Her record at stud was one of total failure.References
