The Raceday Stewards enquired into possible interference in the closing stages involving Lady Fox, ridden by H.J. Horgan, placed first and Freedom Falls, ridden by R.P. Whelan, placed second, where it appeared that interference may have occurred. Evidence was heard from the riders concerned. H. J. Horgan stated that he was a head down and his mount drifted slightly following Freedom Falls. R. P. Whelan stated that he was intimidated and went across the track with the other horse.

Amended Result:
First: Freedom Falls
Second: Lady Fox
Third: Rebecca's Girl
Fourth: Paradise Perfect
Fifth: Brookie Cookie
