The Stewards enquired into the running and riding of Wolfofallstreets, ridden by A.W. Short, and trained by P.J

Rothwell. Evidence was heard from the rider and trainer concerned

A.W. Short, stated that his instructions were to race in 5th or 6th and to do the best he could. He said his mount ballooned the first and as a result of this, he had to race further back than instructed. He added that his mount ran very green through out and made several mistakes before staying on past tired horses in the closing stages under a hands and heels ride. He felt his mount may appreciate better ground in the future. He further added that he had schooled the animal prior to today and he had showed no sighs of greenness

P.J. Rothwell, confirmed the instructions given and expressed his over all satisfaction with the ride. He outlined the schooling his charge had prior to today and was surprised at how green his charge was when leaving the parade ring and through out the race and expressed his delight with the run considering both factors. He further added that the rider could have ridden stronger in the closing stages but he was satisfied he achieved his best possible placing without having to revert to use of the whip. The Stewards also received a report from the Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board Veterinary Officer who stated that Wolfofallstreets was found to have a small sore on the left hand side of his mouth of no consequence and was other wise post race normal. Samples were taken for analysis

Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Stewards noted the trainers explanation and advised A.W. Short to be seen to make more of an effort in the future

The Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board Veterinary Officer reported to the Stewards that Bright Lass trained by John J. Walsh was found to have pulled the right fore shoe.
