T.P. Madden, rider of Free Solo trained by Mrs John Harrington, reported to the Clerk of Scales that his mount got upset in stalls and jumped out slowly

J.A. Heffernan, rider of Mythologic, trained by A.P.O'Brien, reported at a Stewards' Inquiry that his mount hung right in running

The Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board Veterinary Officer examined Mythologic, trained by A.P.O'Brien, at the request of the Stewards and reported the animal to be blowing hard post race

The Stewards enquired into the riding in the closing stages of this race of Mythologic, ridden by J.A. Heffernan, and trained by A.P.O'Brien where Mythologic held sixth position inside the final furlong but surrendered this close in the latter stages to finish last of eight runners. Evidence was heard from J.A. Heffernan, rider, who stated that his mount had been in contention and under a forceful ride but had hung to the right during this race and had no more to offer in the closing stages. In his opinion he could not have finished any closer. Under further questioning he accepted that he had failed to report at first instance that his mount had hung to the right. The Stewards also received a report from the Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board Veterinary Officer who stated that Mythologic was blowing hard post race. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Stewards accepted the evidence of J.A. Heffernan in relation to his riding in the closing stages. They did, however, remind J.A. Heffernan of his responsibility to comply with Rule 213 whereby he shall report in the first instance anything which might have affected the running of his horse in a race.
