When questioned regarding racing further back in the field, A Hyeronimus stated he was under no specific instructions, but did anticipate taking up a forward position. He added that, when caught wide in the early stages, he elected to restrain to obtain cover, rather than being caught wide, however, Lucky Fish then did not travel and lost additional ground and, consequently, raced further back than had been intended.

A post-race veterinary examination did not reveal any abnormalities, other than a superficial abrasion to the near-side shoulder. Attainment on jumping was hampered when bumped by Bid Of Faith, which shifted in.
