The Stewards enquired into two incidents shortly after the start of this race involving La Oliva, ridden by Anastasia O'Brien, unplaced, Seven Samurai (USA), ridden by R. Dawson, unplaced, Settle For Red, ridden by C.P. Hoban, placed fifth, Danequest, ridden by P.K. Donovan, placed fourth, The Frog Prince, ridden by L.F. Roche, unplaced and Well Insured, ridden by G.J. Phillips, who was unseated in the second incident. Evidence was heard from the riders concerned, in the presence of Mrs. Anne Marie O.'Brien, who accompanied Anastasia O' Brien at the enquiry. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the stewards were of the opinion that the first incident was accidental and took no further action, however they were of the opinion that both C.P.Hoban and L.F.Roche were in breach of Rule 214, having ridden carelessly in the second incident and after considering their records , suspended each rider for two race days.
