The Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board Veterinary Officer examined Numidia, trained by Peter Lawlor, at the request of the Stewards and reported the animal to be post race normal

The Stewards enquired into an incident about one furlong from the finish involving Power Drive (GB), ridden by L.T. McAteer, and Eastern Racer, ridden by J.J.G. Ryan where it appeared that Eastern Racer drifted onto the racing line of Power Drive (GB) which checked. Evidence was heard from the riders concerned. In his evidence, L.T. McAteer stated that his mount was tiring when Eastern Racer rolled in front of him causing him to check momentarily but not having any effect on his finishing position. J.J.G. Ryan stated that he was riding hands and heels until applying his whip but his mount rolled right before being corrected as quickly as possible. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Stewards took no further action other than to advise J.J.G. Ryan to ride with more awareness. James Griffin accompanied J.J.G. Ryan at this enquiry.
