The Stewards reviewed an incident approaching the second last involving Tiantu, ridden by Mr P. Power, unplaced and Shopping Around, ridden by K.M. Donoghue, placed second, where it appeared that Shopping Around moved out onto the racing line of Tiantu. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the matter, the Stewards were satisfied that no further action was warranted

The Stewards enquired into the start of this race where it appeared that Fenlon's Hill, ridden by A. W. Short, whipped around and did not participate in this race. Evidence was heard from the Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board Starter, Mr. P. L. Malone and A. W. Short, rider. Mr. P. L. Malone stated that he saw Fenlon's Hill whipping around but felt this had happened after he had effected a fair start. A. W. Short stated that his mount whipped around without warning, just before the starter had dropped his flag. Having considered all the evidence, the Stewards were satisfied that although marginal, the incident had occurred before the starter had dropped his flag and they therfore declared Fenelon's Hill a non runner under the provisions of Rule 209(v), and refereed the matter to the C.E.O of the Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board for consideration.
