Permission was given for Master The Stars (GER) to wear a red hood to the start.
An enquiry was held to consider the placings in this race after interference from approaching the final furlong when the winner, Good Birthday (IRE), ridden by Silvestre De Sousa, interfered with Master The Stars (GER), placed second, ridden by Mark Crehan.
Considering where both pieces of interference occurred in relation to the winning line, with Master The Stars (GER) being bumped and carried off its intended line on two separate occasions inside the final ½ furlong before running on to be beaten by a short head at the line, the Stewards were satisfied that the interference had improved Good Birthday (IRE)’s placing and therefore revised the placings as follows.
First: Master The Stars (GER), Second: Good Birthday (IRE), Third: End Result (GB), Fourth: Dashing Roger (GB).
De Sousa was suspended for 2 days for careless riding as he failed to take sufficient steps to prevent his horse from drifting right-handed on the second occasion, despite the gelding having shown a tendency to drift in that direction.
The performance of Tenbury Wells (USA), which started favourite and finished last of the eight runners, beaten by 38¼ lengths, was considered.
It was noted that the representative of John & Thady Gosden could offer no explanation for the gelding’s performance other than a report from the rider that Tenbury Wells (USA) lost its action in the dip on this occasion.
The Veterinary Officer reported that a post-race examination of the gelding, during routine testing, failed to reveal any abnormalities.
Following the race, the Veterinary Officer reported that Hotspur Harry (IRE), unplaced, lost its left- hind shoe and Dashing Roger (GB), placed fourth, lost its right-fore shoe.
