Evidence was heard from the riders concerned.

Having considered the report, the Stewards noted the explanation offered.

Andrew J. McNamara, rider of Judge Roy Bean, trained by Mr. E.J. O’Grady, reported to the Stewards' Secretaries that his mount made a respiratory noise in running.

A.D. Leigh, rider of Native Palm, trained by Mrs John Harrington, reported to the Office of the Governing Bodies on Tuesday 23rd August that his mount never travelled on the ground. The Turf Club Veterinary Officer reported to the Stewards that Native Palm was found to be post race normal.
