The Stewards interviewed S.D. Torrens, rider of Drumbear (GB), concerning his use of the whip in the latter stages of this race. Evidence was heard from the rider concerned. In his evidence, S.D. Torrens stated that his mount was hanging the whole way up the straight but admitted that he had miscalculated how many times he had used his whip and apologised for his actions. Having viewed a recording of the race and considered the evidence the Stewards were of the opinion that S.D. Torrens was in breach of R10(3)(g) by using his whip with excessive frequency. Having taken his previous record into consideration, the Stewards suspended S.D. Torrens for one raceday.

The Stewards requested a report from Michael J. Bowe, trainer, as to the apparent improvement in form of Sweet Sting, placed first, as compared with its recent run here on the 5th May when finishing eighth of twelve finishers beaten thirty five lengths by the winner Direct Image. Michael J. Bowe reported that the faster underfoot conditions allowed his small filly to carry the top weight of twelve stone and in his opinion this was the contributing factor to the improved performance. Having considered the evidence the Stewards noted the content of the report.

Mr M.J.M. O'Sullivan, rider of Bright Red Rose trained by Roger Joseph McGrath, reported to the Clerk of the Scales that his mount hung violently right throughout this race.
