- Stewards Report
Following the False Start, all horses were checked by the Veterinary Surgeon at the start and were deemed fit to race.
An enquiry was held into the false start in this race.
The Clerk of the Course, the Starters, a Steward (who had spoken with all of the riders unable to attend the enquiry due to onward engagements), Charlie Wallis and David Egan, the trainer and rider of Zac Brown (IRE), and the Advanced Flag Operator were interviewed.
The Starter reported that Zac Brown (IRE) had broken out of the stalls prior to him pushing the button to start the race and therefore immediately called a False Start.
All riders correctly pulled up and returned to the start, as required by the recall procedures.
Zac Brown (IRE) was withdrawn by the Starter for breaking out of the stalls.
All remaining horses were checked by the Veterinary Surgeon at the start and deemed fit to race.
The Stewards were satisfied that the recall procedures were carried out correctly and took no further action.
The Starter reported that Zac Brown (IRE) broke out of the stalls and was withdrawn.
Charlie Wallis was informed that the gelding could not run until the day after passing a stalls test.
An enquiry was held to consider interference approaching 4 furlongs out when Englishman (GB), placed fifth, ridden by Pat Cosgrave interfered with Shamshon (IRE), placed third, ridden by Oisin Murphy.
Cosgrave was cautioned for careless riding as he maneuvered left when insufficiently clear causing Murphy to take a slight check.
Following the race, P J McDonald reported that Boy In The Bar (GB), placed second, was persistently denied a clear run in the final 2 furlongs.
The Veterinary Officer reported that Shamshon (IRE), placed third, Englishman (GB), placed fifth and Upavon (GB), placed sixth, had post-race ataxia and that the winner, Paddy Power (IRE), had bled from the nose.
