The Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board Veterinary Officer examined Diderot (GB), trained by G.M.Lyons, at the request of the Stewards and reported the animal to be post race normal. Samples were taken for analysis

The Stewards interviewed D.P. McDonogh, rider of Hype, concerning his use of the whip in the latter stages of this race. Evidence was heard from the rider concerned. In his evidence, D.P. McDonogh stated that he gave his mount a light flick with the whip when he felt that he ran off the final bend but admitted that he had marginally exceeded the guidelines for numbers. Having viewed a recording of the race and considered the evidence the Stewards were of the opinion that D.P. McDonogh was in breach of R10(3)(g) by using his whip with excessive frequency

Having taken his previous record into consideration, the Stewards suspended D.P. McDonogh for two racedays

C.T. Keane, rider of Diderot (GB) trained by G.M.Lyons, reported to the Clerk of Scales that his mount stopped very quickly

The Stewards reviewed an incident about one furlong from the finish involving Diderot (GB), ridden by C.T

Keane, unplaced and Windsor Pass, ridden by S. Foley, placed second, where it appeared that Diderot (GB) was short of room on the rails when passed by Windsor Pass. Having reviewed the recording of that part of the race and considered the matter, the Stewards were satisfied that no action was warranted
