The Stewards enquired into an incident in the closing stages involving Gold Speed, ridden by D.F. O'Regan and Rodney Bay, ridden by J.J. Slevin where it appeared Gold Speed leaned in on Rodney Bay. Evidence was heard from the riders concerned. J.J. Slevin stated that his horse was looking for way out late on when Mr. O'Regan came in on him but felt it did not cost him a place. D.F. O'Regan stated that his mount can be a difficult ride and was lugging in towards the rail late on when there was slight interference. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Stewards found D.F. O'Regan was in breach of Rule 214 in that he had ridden carelessly. Having considered his record in this regard, the Stewards cautioned him on this occasion.

M.P. O'Connor, rider of Billable Grant trained by C.A. McBratney, reported to the Clerk of the Scales that his mount never travelled and was therefore pulled up.

Slevin stated that he used his whip in the early part of this race for corrective purposes. Having viewed a recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Stewards accepted J.J. Slevin's evidence, that two uses of the whip in the early part of this race were for corrective purposes and they therefore took no further action.
