P.W. Mullins, placed third, where it appeared that interference had occurred. Evidence was heard from the riders concerned. Mr. P.W. Mullins stated that the racing line in front of him closed, but felt he was not travelling well enough to hold his position at the time and was also of the view that it had not affected his over all finishing position. Mr. B. O'Neill stated that his mount ran very green in the closing stages and despite his best efforts, his mount hung slightly right. Mr. D. Kiely was of the opinion that his mount kept a straight line at this point in the race. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Stewards made no alteration to the Judge's placings and took no further action.
