The Stewards enquired into possible interference inside the final furlong involving Goa Gajah (USA), ridden by M.P. Sheehy, placed third, Spirit Genie, ridden by S. Foley, placed second, and Bossy Parker, ridden by J.A

Powell, placed first, where it appeared Spirit Genie was carried left by Bossy Parker. Evidence was heard from the riders concerned. M.P. Sheehy stated that he had to take a check when Bossy Parker crossed in front of him. S

Foley stated that his mount got carried left and suffered intimidation which in his opinion may have cost him the winning of the race. J.A. Powell stated that his mount was hanging left and he tried correcting him first with the whip before putting it down and correcting with his reins but in his opinion he did not improve his finishing position as a result of the interference. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Stewards made no alteration to the Judge’s placings and took no further action.
