The Raceday Stewards interviewed Chris Timmons, trainer of Razdan, concerning the conduct of this horse who stood in the stalls and refused to race. Chris Timmons stated that they tried using a blindfold today and it didn't work. Having considered the evidence, the Raceday Stewards advised Chris Timmons that a repeat performance from his charge may render the animal liable to a suspension in the future.

The Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board Veterinary Officer examined Retracement, trained by J.P. Murtagh, at the request of the Raceday Stewards and reported the animal to be post race normal.

The Raceday Stewards enquired into possible interference in the home straight involving Blake (GB), ridden by C.D. Hayes, placed second and Navy Waters, ridden by N.M. Crosse, placed first, where it appeared that interference may have occurred. Evidence was heard from the riders concerned. C.D. Hayes stated that he was carried wide early in the straight and at no stage did he get a fair run up the straight. He further added that as he got his mount going Navy Waters leaned in on top of him. He concluded by stating that he felt this interference had cost him the winning of the race. N.M. Crosse stated that his mount was hanging right and he did his best to keep him straight. He further added that Blake ran into the back of his hind quarters. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Raceday Stewards were of the opinion that Navy Waters had caused interference to Blake and as a result of this interference had improved it’s finishing position.

As a consequence, the Raceday Stewards amended the result to read as follows:
Amended Result:
First: Blake
Second: Navy Waters
Third: Teed Up
Fourth: Speckled Meadow
Fifth: Immutable
Sixth: Bottler'secret

Furthermore, the Raceday Stewards were of the opinion that N.M. Crosse was in breach of Rule 214 in that he had ridden carelessly, and having considered his clean record in this regard they suspended him for two racedays.
