The Stewards enquired into possible interference in the closing stages involving Long House Island, ridden by D.G. Hogan, placed first and Repeater (GB), ridden by J.W. Kennedy, placed second. Evidence was heard from the riders concerned. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Stewards made no alteration to the judge's placings, however they were of the opinion that D.G.Hogan was in breach of Rule 214, in that he rode carelessly and having considered his record, severely cautioned him concerning his future responsibilities in this regard.
