I didn't think he was up but, he longer it went on, I said 'jeez, maybe'. Mel said yes, he thought he was up. He was trapped on the rails there, one in front and one alongside him and, in all fairness to the young fella, he found his way out of it. He had to solve a few problems out there and he didn't panic. He's a brother of Joey, so he would be well taught anyway. I'm delighted for Mel. He does stay (two miles) and he's down to a nice mark there. Down Royal had gone too soft for him. Peter Lawlor, trainer

The Raceday Stewards interviewed A.S. Grant, rider of Jurality (GB), placed second, beaten by a nose, concerning his riding close to the line, where he appeared to ride less vigourously than further out. Evidence was heard from the rider concerned in the presence of the trainer Paul W. Flynn. A.S. Grant stated that he had used his whip on at least seven occasions prior to the road crossing and he put his stick down when his mount became unbalanced and rode hands and heels to the line from there. Paul W. Flynn stated that he felt the rider had done everything right and that both horse and rider gave there all and that he was completely satisfied in the circumstances. Having considered the matter, the Raceday Stewards were satisfied that no further action was warranted.
