G.P. Halpin, rider of Springbank trained by Ross O'Sullivan, reported to the Clerk of Scales that his mount lugged left down the hill

The Stewards enquired into an incident on the bend into the straight involving Barbados, ridden by C.P. Hoban, Springbank, ridden by G.P. Halpin, and Iowa, ridden by W.M. Lordan, where it appeared Barbados got tight for room. Evidence was heard from the riders concerned. C.P. Hoban stated that his mount was plugging away, he got tightened up and took a check. W.M. Lordan stated that he had enough of a gap, went forward and got some contact on the bend. G.P. Halpin stated that his mount edged out to go by, flicked a lead and lay onto the horse on his inner. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Stewards found that any interference was accidental in nature and took no further action.
