An investigation is to be carried out after the 'wrong horse' won a race at Great Yarmouth at odds of 50-1.
The two-year-old Mandarin Princess, trained by Charlie McBride, was declared winner of the race at 13:40 BST after beating favourite Fyre Cay.
But a scan afterwards identified the horse as three-year-old stablemate Millie's Kiss, who had been due to run in a later race.
Stewards referred the matter to the British Horseracing Authority.
Some bookmakers have said they will pay out on the horses finishing first and second.
