The Stewards enquired into an incident immediately after the winning post involving Pirate Jenny, ridden by C.T. Keane, placed second and Red Lacewing, ridden by A.J. Slattery, placed third, where it appeared that Pirate Jenny leaned towards the parade ring on pulling up and into the path of Red Lacewing who stumbled. Evidence was heard from the riders concerned. In his evidence A.J. Slattery stated that immediately after the winning post Pirate Jenny appeared to look for the parade ring and moved slightly to the right causing his mount to clip her heel and stumble. C.T. Keane stated that his mount, which was fitted with ear plugs, had been under a strong left hand drive when she caught him unaware and edged momentarily toward the parade ring before straightening up. Both riders explained that they were riding fillies that were making their racecourse debut. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Stewards were satisfied that the incident was accidental in nature and took no further action.

Orr, placed sixth and Pirate Jenny, ridden by C.T. Keane, placed second, where it appeared that Rockbury Lad (GB) may have been momentarily tight for room when racing between horses.
