The Stewards enquired into an incident in the closing stages involving Ma Belle Artiste, ridden by D.P. McDonogh, Leopardess (GB), ridden by T.P. Madden, Semantics (USA), ridden by C.T. Keane, and Lan Mara, ridden by K.J. Manning where it appeared that Lan Mara and Semantics got tight for room. Evidence was heard from the riders concerned. D. P. McDonogh stated that he got a little pressure from his outside. T. P. Madden stated that his mount ran green and leaned left in the straight. C. T. Keane stated that he received a little bump but was beaten at the time and it did not cost him anything. K. J. Manning stated that he received no interference and was going backwards at the time. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Stewards were of the opinion that any interference which occurred was accidental in nature, and they took no further action other than to remind T. P. Madden to ride with more awareness in the future.

D.P. McDonogh, rider of Ma Belle Artiste trained by Joseph Patrick O'Brien, reported to the Clerk of the Scales that his mount ran short of room a couple of times in the straight and hung in the closing stages.

The Stewards enquired into an incident in the closing stages of this race involving Helpmeout, ridden by W.J. Lee, and Scarlet Angel (USA), ridden by C.T. Keane where it appeared Scarlet Angel had to check off heels. Evidence was heard from the riders concerned. W. J. Lee stated that his mount was leaning left and then dived in left when he got half a length up. C. T. Keane stated that he had to check off heels. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Stewards were of the opinion that any interference which occurred was accidental in nature, and they took no further action.

The Stewards requested a report from W. McCreery, trainer, as to the apparent improvement in form of Helpmeout, placed first, as compared with its most recent run. W. McCreery stated that his charge was waited with in rear, got into a good rhythm and had a clear run down the outer to make its challenge.
