The Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board Veterinary Officer examined Sugar Cookie (FR), trained by W.P. Mullins, at the request of the Raceday Stewards and reported the animal to be post race normal

The Raceday Stewards enquired into possible interference in the closing stages of this race involving Early Bird, ridden by Mr. D. O'Connor, placed fourth, Hello Jean, ridden by Miss. J. Townend, placed third, Jo's Secret, ridden by Mr. J. W. Hendrick, placed fifth, and Moon Eclipse, ridden by Mr. P. J. Cody, placed first, where it appeared interference may have occurred. Evidence was heard from the riders concerned. Mr. D. O'Connor stated that he maintained his line and was unaware of any interference. Miss J. Townend stated that her mount was intimidated by the horse on her outside and moved in slightly. Mr. J. W. Hendrick stated that his race was run when he received slight interference from his outside. Mr. P. J. Cody stated that he maintained his line and caused no interference. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Raceday Stewards were of the opinion that while Hello Jean had caused interference to Jo's Secret she did not improve her finishing position as a result of this interference so they made no alteration to the Judge’s placings and took no further action

The Raceday Stewards interviewed Mr F. R. Buckley, rider of Voodoo Angel, concerning his use of the whip in the closing stages of this race. Evidence was heard from the rider concerned who accepted that he was in breach of the regulation and apologised. Having viewed a recording of the race and considered the evidence the Raceday Stewards were satisfied that Mr. F. R. Buckley was in breach of Regulation 10. 3. h (arm above shoulder height) and having considered his record in this regard (second offence) the Raceday Stewards suspended Mr. F. R

Buckley for four racedays
