The Stewards enquired into an incident on the final bend before the finish involving Pirate Cove, ridden by P.J. Smullen, placed third and Falkirk, ridden by J.P. O'Brien, placed first, where it appeared that Pirate Cove received a severe check. Evidence was heard from the riders concerned. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Stewards were of the opinion that the incident was caused by J.P. O'Brien riding carelessly and consequently suspended him for 1 raceday having taken his previous record into consideration.
