The Stewards enquired into an incident in the latter stages involving Cradle Mountain, ridden by D. O'Brien, placed second, Siege Of Orleans (USA), ridden by J.P. O'Brien, placed fifth, Xebec (USA), ridden by D.P. McDonogh, placed third and Sidra, ridden by P.J. Smullen, placed fourth, where it appeared that Cradle Mountain had made contact with Xebec (USA) which in turn caused interference by a knock on effect. Evidence was heard from the riders concerned. Patrick Keating, Authorised Representative for A.P. O'Brien, trainer, accompanied D. O'Brien at this enquiry. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Stewards were satisfied that the incident was caused by D. O'Brien riding carelessly and consequently suspended him for 1 raceday having taken his previous record into consideration. C.R. King, rider of Ferguson (GB) trained by David Marnane, reported to the Clerk of Scales that his mount shied away from other horses in the straight.
