The Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board Veterinary Officer examined Emily In Paris, trained by D.E.Fitzgerald, at the request of the Raceday Stewards and reported the animal to be blowing hard post race

The Raceday Stewards interviewed Mr. Adam Rosario, a representative of E. J. O'Grady, trainer of Ceroc and Priory Park regarding the late arrival of the horses into the parade ring. Mr. Rosario stated that there was a delay receiving the saddle from one of the riders who rode in the race before and he had to saddle both horses. Having considered the evidence, the Raceday Stewards were satisfied that E.J O'Grady was in breach of Rule 32(ii) (failure to have both animals in the parade ring a reasonable time before the signal to mount was given) and Rule 205(i) (late arrival at start) and in considering his clean records in regards to both charges they cautioned him for each offence. Furthermore, the Raceday Stewards fined E.J. O'Grady €130 through his representative under the provisions of Rule 147(v) for failing to lodge the appropriate paperwork to nominate an Authorised Representative at this meeting.
