J.W. Kennedy, rider of Max Flamingo trained by Francis Casey, reported to the Clerk of the Scales that his mount never travelled and did not jump great before being pulled up

D. Meyler, rider of Optical Confusion trained by Michael Butler, reported to the Clerk of the Scales that his mount lost his action and was pulled up

The Stewards enquired into an incident where the runners came onto the running rail after the third last fence involving Peregrine Run, ridden by S.W. Flanagan, Ilikedwayurthinkin, ridden by M.P. Walsh, Jacksons Gold, ridden by J.B. Foley and Charlie Stout, ridden by S. O'Callaghan, where it appeared the three runners on the inside of Jacksons Gold got tight for room. Evidence was heard from the riders concerned. In his evidence, M.P. Walsh stated that he jumped the third last fence well, he met the bend but was not good enough to hold his position and got squeezed from the outside. S. O'Callaghan stated that he jumped left at the third last fence which left the inner free for Peregrine Run. When he met the running rail his own mount could not hold his position. S.W. Flanagan stated that he jumped the third last fence very well, landed running and went for the inside but got tightened from the outside at that point. J.B. Foley stated that he was riding on the outside of the other runners and was trying to keep his mount straight with his whip in his right hand. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Stewards were satisfied that interference had taken place at this point due to some general bunching but they could not apportion blame to any individual rider and took no further action. .
