Near the 300 metres J. Cartwright accidentally dropped his whip.
The stewards considered objections from J. Lyon rider of Morchowie Miss being declared 4 place getter, J. Cartwright rider of Nestus being declared 3 placegetter and M. Payne rider of Cash Caddy being declared 2 placegetter, all on the grounds of alleged interference against Curragh King being declared the winner on the grounds of alleged interference inside the final 200 metres. On the evidence it was established that Curragh King hung out despite the efforts of its rider and near the 150 metres Cash Caddy had to be steadied and changed course after being taken out by Curragh King. Then a short distance after this near the 100 metres to the winning post both Nestus and Cash Caddy had to change course after being taken wider on the track when having to avoid Curragh King which continued to hang out. The stewards were of the view that whilst all three runners suffered interference they could not be satisfied that any of the three horses would have beaten the winner, bearing in mind the beaten margins of a length by a head by a short neck. Therefore all three objections were dismissed. A subsequent veterinary examination of Curragh King revealed no abnormalities. Trainer C.
