Permission was given for Maggie And Me (GB) to wear a red hood to post.

Approximately 4 furlongs out Blue Collar Lad (GB), placed sixth, had to be checked and made contact with the rail after it had improved into a gap where there was insufficient room up the inside of Maggie And Me (GB), placed fourth.

After viewing a recording of the incident, it was found that no riding offence was involved.

An enquiry was held to consider the placings in this race after two incidents of interference inside the final one and a half furlongs involving the winner, LETS FLY AGAIN, ridden by John Fahy and Laguna Veneta (IRE), placed second, ridden by Charles Bishop.

After hearing evidence from both riders and viewing recordings of the incidents, it was established that approaching the final furlong in the first incident, Let's Fly Again (GB) had lugged right-handed away from the whip before being quickly corrected by Fahy, slightly impeding Laguna Veneta (IRE) when carrying that filly off her intended line.

In the second incident inside the final furlong, it was found that Let's Fly Again (GB) had shifted sharply right-handed away from the whip before being swiftly corrected by Fahy giving Laguna Veneta (IRE) a bump, which briefly unbalanced that filly.

The Stewards after giving consideration to the material extent of the interference suffered by Laguna Veneta (IRE) and the neck margin by which it was beaten, along with where the incidents occurred and how both runners finished the race off were unable to be satisfied that had the interference not occurred Laguna Veneta (IRE), would have finished in front of Let's Fly Again (GB) and accordingly ordered the placings to remain unaltered.

The interference was found to be accidental as both incidents were caused by Let's Fly Again (GB) racing greenly and Fahy had taken reasonable steps in the circumstances to straighten his mount in a timely manner.
