Declan gave him a beautiful ride. Gave him plenty of cover and got there late. It looked tight but he said he always had them covered. I'm delighted with that. He said we can step him up to a mile-and-a-half if we want. He loved the ground. Gerard O'Leary, trainer

The Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board Veterinary Officer examined Johnny Soda, trained by Adrian McGuinness, at the request of the Raceday Stewards and reported the animal to be post race normal

The Raceday Stewards interviewed D P McDonogh rider of Iamimmaculate, C D Hayes rider of Majestic King, and Mr B R Hamilton, IHRB Starter, following reports furnished post race regarding the timing of the opening of the starting stalls. Evidence was heard from the riders and the IHRB Starter. D P McDonogh stated that he was on a difficult horse, called out to the starter "wait" that he wasn't ready to go and felt the start was mistimed. C D Hayes stated that he made the starter aware that he would be mounting in the stalls and asked him to wait until he had both feet in his irons. He further added that he had just about got his feet in the irons and had little control of his mount when the stalls opened which resulted in him coming out awkwardly. Mr B R Hamilton stated that he awaited the signal from the Stall Handler Team Leader, and when he was satisfied all horses were ready to start, he dropped the flag and started the race. Having considered all the evidence, the Raceday Stewards were satisfied that several horses were acting up and in the circumstances the Starter was entitled to take the decision to start the race and that no further action was warranted.
