The Stewards enquired into an incident turning out of the back straight involving Epona Plays, ridden by W.J. Lee, placed third, Moonwalk, ridden by M.C. Hussey, unplaced, and Pyramid Rock, ridden by S. Foley, placed fifth, where it appeared that M. C. Hussey ran short of room and had to check. Evidence was heard from the riders concerned. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Stewards were of the opinion that any interference was accidental in nature and they took no further action.
