A.J. Slattery, rider of Almendares (GB), trained by Andrew Slattery, reported to the Clerk of the Scales that his mount got pressure from his outside when rounding the bend

S.T. McCullagh, rider of Daonethatgotaway (GB), trained by Mark Fahey, reported to the Clerk of the Scales that his mount never travelled during this race

D.W. O'Connor, rider of Redshore City, trained by John C. McConnell, reported to the Clerk of the Scales that his mount was snatched up rounding the bend

L.T. McAteer, rider of Goldmile, trained by James M. Barrett, reported to the Clerk of the Scales that his mount was badly hampered after three furlongs

W.J. Lee, rider of Lily Maguire, trained by W. McCreery, reported to the Clerk of the Scales that his mount received heavy pressure from the outside when rounding the bend causing her to interfere with Goldmile which was on her inner

The Raceday Stewards enquired into an incident on the bend before the turn into the straight involving Almendares (GB), ridden by A.J. Slattery, placed second, Goldmile, ridden by L.T. McAteer, unplaced, Lily Maguire, ridden by W.J. Lee, unplaced, and Memorial Verse, ridden by C.D. Hayes, unplaced, where it appeared that Almendares (GB), Goldmile and Lily Maguire all received pressure from their outside. Evidence was heard from the riders concerned. In his evidence, L.T. McAteer stated that his mount was travelling well when the riders outside him shouted but it was too late and he had to take back when badly hampered. W.J. Lee stated that his mount was tightened from his outer despite riders shouting. A.J. Slattery stated that he was three off the rails when he got pressure from Memorial Verse (C.D. Hayes) who was racing on his outer and at that time he was aware that he had two riders on his inner who were shouting. C.D. Hayes stated that his mount was a difficult ride with a soft mouth and at the time of the incident, the filly changed leads on the bend and being aware of the horses on his inner he tried to drag her off them. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Raceday Stewards found that C.D. Hayes was in breach of Rule 214 in that he had ridden carelessly. Having considered his record in this regard, the Raceday Stewards suspended C.D. Hayes for one raceday. Mr. R. McSharry, Raceday Steward, recused himself from this enquiry.
