The Stewards enquired into an incident in the closing stages of this race involving Gulliver's Travels, ridden by W.M. Lordan, Porthos, ridden by G.M. Ryan, War Correspondent, ridden by B.M. Coen, and Zoffman, ridden by J.M. Sheridan where it appeared that Zoffman may have run short of room and Portos reacted to War Correspondent's outward movement by running away to the left. Evidence was heard from the riders concerned. In his evidence, G.M. Ryan stated that his mount ran green and reacted to War Correspondent's outward movement by running away to the left from that animal. J.M. Sheridan stated that a gap appeared but his mount was not helping him at that stage. W.M. Lordan stated that his mount was wearing first time blinkers and was wandering but at all times he was aware of other horses near him. B.M. Coen stated that his mount had ducked away from the use of his whip in both hands and when pulled together to straighten up, the animal over exaggerated the correction and ran around. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Stewards took no further action
