The Raceday Stewards granted a request from Brendan Oliver Walsh, trainer of Menas Miracle, for an additional ten minutes to present his charge for identification by an IHRB Veterinary Officer in accordance with the provisions of Rule 90(i).

The Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board Veterinary Officer examined Aussie Warrior, trained by Thomas R. Hughes, at the request of the Raceday Stewards and reported the animal to be post race normal. Samples were also taken for further analysis.

The Raceday Stewards received a report from the Clerk of the Scales, regarding the fact that D.J. O'Keeffe, rider of Onebrightbluerose, placed second, weighed in at 156.5lbs having weighed out at 158lbs, meaning he was 1.5lbs light. Evidence was heard from Patrick Cronin trainer, who stated that when saddling his charge, he forgot to add the weight cloth which he then found in the saddling box following the race. Evidence was also heard from the rider concerned, who stated that he weighed out with the correct equipment and was unaware that his weight cloth was missing when weighing in. Having considered the evidence, the Raceday Stewards disqualified Onebrightbluerose in accordance with the provisions of Rule 231(i) (weighed in more than 1lbs light) and amended result is as follows:
1st - Menas Miracle
2nd - Hatfield Hammer
3rd - Spanish John
4th - Pleasureofpressure
5th - Special Protector.

Furthermore, the Raceday Stewards found trainer Patrick Cronin to be in breach of Rule 148(i)(a trainer shall be responsible for everything connected with the welfare, training and running of all Horses under their care). Having considered his clean record in this regard, the Raceday Stewards fined him €500.

Queally, placed first, and The Cistercian, ridden by Mr J.P. O'Rourke, placed sixth, where it appeared things became tight for room. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the matter, the Raceday Stewards were satisfied that no further action was warranted.

The Raceday Stewards interviewed Mr B. Barry, rider of Ozark's Walk, concerning his use of the whip in the closing stages of this race. Evidence was heard from the rider concerned who accepted that he was in breach of the regulation and apologised for his actions. Having viewed a recording of the race and considered the evidence the Raceday Stewards were satisfied that he was in breach of Regulation 10.3.g (excessive frequency) and having considered his clean record in this regard, the Raceday Stewards suspended Mr B. Barry for three racedays.
