The Stewards enquired into an incident about two and a half furlongs from the finish involving Fugacious, ridden by G.M. Ryan, placed third, Fall For A Kiss, ridden by D. McMonagle, unplaced, Tio Esteban (FR), ridden by W.T. Byrne, unplaced, Agent Zero (FR), ridden by J.A. Heffernan, placed fifth and Lady Savanah, ridden by D.E

Sheehy, placed second, where it appeared interference may have occurred. Evidence was heard from the riders concerned in the presence of John Joseph Murphy, trainer, who accompanied D. McMonagle. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Stewards were satisfied that the incident was accidental in nature and therefore took no further action

The Stewards requested a report from Edward Lynam, trainer, as to the apparent improvement in form of Chagall, placed first, as compared with its recent form. Mrs. Aileen Lynam, Authorised Representative for the trainer reported that the first time application of blinkers appeared to have the desired affect and in her opinion had helped to bring about the apparent improvement in form. Having considered the report, the Stewards noted the explanation offered.
