Kearney stated that he switched his whip hand to keep his mount going on a straight racing line. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Stewards found that L.T.

Sheehy, where it appeared that Red Wasp checked when Little Queenie drifted onto her racing line. Evidence was heard from the riders concerned. In his evidence, M.P. Sheehy stated that his mount broke slowly and did not help him throughout the race but when responding to the whip Little Queenie had rolled out onto Red Wasp's racing line causing a check. Ciara Flynn stated that her mount ran around on the yielding ground. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Stewards advised Ciara Flynn to ride with more awareness.

The Stewards requested a report from James McAuley, trainer, as to the apparent improvement in form of Sister Rosetta, placed first, as compared with its recent form. James Gough, Authorised representative of James McAuley reported that their change had been acquired through a claiming race and they were informed that she had slipped her palate. Consequently the filly had a tie forward but her initial runs post operation failed to show much improvement but today with strong handling under a change of tactics, the application of first time cheek pieces and her own positive attitude contributed to the improved performance.

McAteer stated that he had misjudged his use of the whip and mistakenly exceeded the guideline by one hit. Having viewed a recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Stewards were of the opinion that L.T. McAteer was in breach of R10(3)(g) by using his whip with excessive frequency. Having taken his clean recent record into consideration, the Stewards cautioned L.T. McAteer on this occasion.

The Stewards requested a report from James McAuley, trainer, as to the apparent improvement in form of Alice Milligan, placed first, as compared with its recent form.
