R. Whearty, rider of Queens Fury (FR), trained by Adrian Murray, reported to the Clerk of the Scales that his mount went left in the closing stages

The Raceday Stewards enquired into an incident in the back straight involving Bernard Shaw (USA), ridden by W.M. Lordan, placed first, Faoladh, ridden by A.J. Slattery, placed sixth, Tangapour, ridden by S.B. Kelly, placed third, and Queens Fury (FR), ridden by R. Whearty, placed fifth. Evidence was heard from the riders concerned

W.M. Lordan stated that there was a slow early pace and some horses momentarily latched on and got tight for room. A.J. Slattery stated that the pace in front of him slowed up and the horse on his outside moved slightly inwards. S.B. Kelly stated that he did not want to make the running, took back to follow the favourite and when the pace slowed up his mount ran very green. R. Whearty stated that he made the running and was clear of the horses behind him. Having viewed a recording of the incident and considered the evidence, the Raceday Stewards did not apportion blame to any rider and took no further action.
