The Raceday Stewards enquired into possible interference in the closing stages involving Ah Remy Martin, ridden by C. McGivern, placed third, Jinxs Link, ridden by J.J. Slevin, placed first, and Eastmore (GB), ridden by P. Byrnes, placed second, where it appeared interference occurred. Evidence was heard from the riders concerned. P. Byrnes stated that a gap appeared after the last on the inside and on approaching the line he received a slight bump. He further added that the interference had no influence on his finishing position. J.J. Slevin stated that he jumped left at the last pushing out, Ah Remy Martin, and as they were returning to their racing line he received pressure from his outside resulting in him slightly coming in on, Eastmore. C. McGivern stated that his horse is quite big and raw and he rolled in on Jinks Link, but felt he had made every effort to avoid causing interference. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Raceday Stewards made no alterations to the Judge's placings and took no further action.
