The Stewards enquired into possible interference in the area of the final hurdle involving Bronn, ridden by D.E. Mullins, placed first, Churchstonewarrior, ridden by D.F. O'Regan, placed second, and Falcon Eight, ridden by J.W. Kennedy, placed third, where it appeared that Bronn and Churchstonewarrior collided at the last hurdle. Evidence was heard from the riders concerned. In his evidence, D.F. O'Regan stated that his mount had jumped left earlier and jumped left again at the final hurdle colliding with Bronn. He added that ultimately this did not cost his mount any momentum. J.W. Kennedy stated that he did not receive any interference as his own mount was lugging in behind the two runners ahead of him. D.E. Mullins stated that he got a bump at the final hurdle. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Stewards made no alteration to the Judge’s placings and took no further action. Mr. Roderick Ryan, Acting Steward, absented himself from this enquiry.

The Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board Veterinary Officer reported to the Stewards that Red As Rust trained by Nigel Thomas Slevin was noted to have blood at both nostrils post race.
