The Raceday Stewards interviewed J.A. Heffernan, rider of Martinstown, concerning his use of the whip in the home straight of this race. Evidence was heard from the rider concerned. J.A. Heffernan accepted that he was in breach of regulation 10 but added that he used his whip with the arm above shoulder height because he felt there was a chance he may have struck the horse on his outer. Having viewed a recording of the race and considered the evidence the Raceday Stewards found J.A. Heffernan was in breach of R.10.3(h)(Arm above shoulder height) and considering his record in this regard they suspended him for eight racedays.

The Raceday Stewards enquired into the reasoning behind Cristal Clere was declared a non runner on yielding at Tipperary the previous day yet was running on yielding ground today. In his evidence Mr.John Nallen, trainer, stated that he declared for Tipperary on yielding to soft, yielding in places and it changed to yielding on Sunday morning. He declared on Saturday for Roscommon with a soft going report and although it changed to yielding today that it would be a softer side of yielding.
