The Stewards enquired into the running and riding of Who's Houdini, ridden by Shane Fenelon, and trained by John Joseph Hanlon. Evidence was heard from the rider and Christopher McGill, Authorized representative for the trainer concerned. Shane Fenelon, stated that his instructions were to take his time and get his mount settled as he had been quiet keen on its previous runs. Once settled he was to try and ride a race thereafter getting into it late on. He said the race went ok however his mount hung badly left, took a blow at the top of the hill and he just stayed on past beaten horses in the straight. Christopher McGill confirmed the instructions given adding that in his opinion Who's Houdini should have been a bit closer at the top of the hill on the final circuit.
