WHO CARES WINS, which was following, was inconvenienced as a consequence. Apprentice Rolls' licence to ride in races was suspended for a period of 6 meetings, with the term of suspension to commence at midnight on Wednesday, 4 April, and expire at midnight on Friday, 13 April 2012.

Colless stated that the colt had shown a tendency to be tardy at its previous starts. G. Colless noted that SNIP 'N' AWAY began well today and he was able to obtain a position outside the leader with relative ease, considering the slow pace in the early stages of the event. Trainer L. Birchley agreed with jockey Colless's comments and indicated that should the horse begin well in the future it will be ridden in a similar fashion.

A post-race veterinary examination of WHO CARES WINS revealed that the mare had sustained a laceration to the back of the off hind leg consistent with being galloped on.
