The Stewards received a report from the Clerk of the Scales, Mr.P.W.Murtagh, regarding the failure of D. Fitzpatrick, rider of Hilary, placed fifth, to weigh in after this race. Evidence was heard from the rider concerned in the presence of his master, Gerard Stack, who accompanied him in the Stewards room.
