Manning, placed fifth and Seal Rock (GB), ridden by C.D. Hayes, placed second. 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 the incident was accidental and took no further action. J.P. O'Brien, rider of Masai, trained by A.P.O'Brien, reported to the Stewards' Secretaries that his mount was short of room momentarily in the final furlong.
