J. Cleary, rider of Impero, trained by Michael G. Cleary, reported to the Clerk of the Scales that his mount ran short of room in the home straight

The IHRB Veterinary Officer examined Filey Bay, trained by Emmet Mullins, at the request of the Raceday Stewards and reported the animal to be post race normal

The Raceday Stewards enquired into possible interference in the final 50 yards involving Ash Tree Meadow (FR), ridden by B.M. Coen, placed third, Banned (GB), ridden by D. McMonagle, placed second and Glan, ridden by D.P. McDonogh, placed first, where it appeared Ash Tree Meadow ran short of room between horses in the closing stages. Evidence was heard from the riders concerned. B.M. Coen stated that he was slowly away. His horse was having its first flat run and was caught for pace. He was going nowhere until Glan flashed down his outer and his mount was a little tight on the line. D. McMonagle stated that his mount had run around and had a good look but felt his mount stayed straight on the inner. D.P. McDonogh stated that his mount got going late, stayed on well and shifted a little at which point he pulled his left rein after the line. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Raceday Stewards were of the opinion that while Glan had caused interference to Ash Tree Meadow (FR), he did not improve his finishing position as a result of this interference so they made no alteration to the Judge’s placings. They were, however, of the opinion that D.P. McDonogh was in breach of Rule 214 in that he had ridden carelessly and having considered his record in this regard, they suspended him for one race day
