The Stewards enquired into an incident after turning for home involving Ottoman Emperor, ridden by S.B. Kelly and Tazaral, ridden by C.T. Keane, where it appeared that interference may have occurred. Evidence was heard from the riders concerned. S.B. Kelly stated that his mount was running behind the bridle, kept his line and quickened with the horse in front. C.T. Keane stated that his mount was travelling well and may have lugged a bit when a gap opened up in front.

The Stewards requested a report from Peter Fahey, trainer as to the apparent improvement in form of Dance Emperor, placed first, as compared with its recent form. Peter Fahey reported that his charge usually gets upset in stalls, and on his last run in Leopardstown was drawn wide and didn't break. On this occasion, a hood was applied to his charge on entering stalls and was removed as late as possible. In his opinion, this helped to bring about an improvement in form. Having considered the evidence the Stewards noted the explanation offered. However, pursuant to the provisions of Rule 147 (v), the Stewards fined Peter Fahey €130 for failing to lodge the appropriate authorisation form appointing a representative.
