The Raceday Stewards enquired into possible interference in the closing stages involving Additional Time, ridden by A. Harvey, placed first and Heron's Butler, ridden by L.A. McKenna, placed second, where it appeared that interference may have occurred. Evidence was heard from the riders concerned. A. Harvey stated that his mount was lairy but that he attempted to maintain his line. L.A. McKenna stated that he received interference and intimidation from the second last to the line. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Raceday Stewards were of the opinion that Additional Time had caused interference to Heron's Butler and as a result of this interference had improved its finishing position. As a consequence, the Raceday Stewards reversed the placings of the first and second horses and amended the result to read as follows: First: Heron's Butler Second: Additional Time Third: Tsavo Park Fourth: Cuguilla Fifth: Gallant Getaway Furthermore, the Raceday Stewards did not apportion blame to any rider

P. Hanlon, rider of Tsavo Park, trained by John Joseph Hanlon, reported to the Clerk of the Scales that his mount hung left up the straight.
