When Jockey P. Cullen was unable to fulfil his engagements due to injury and substitutions were made as per the Stewards Race Day Summary. Jockey Cullen was informed that he must furnish a medical clearance before being permitted to ride again.

The declaration of correct weight was delayed to allow Jockey I.. Toward, the rider of YOYO which finished second, to view the official video film with a view to lodging an objection against LATARGIRL (L. Dillon) being declared the winner. After viewing the film, Jockey Toward elected not to lodge a protest and stewards declared correct weight.
