A post-race veterinary examination of Phoenix Park revealed no abnormality. A swab sample was taken. Trainer Mrs G. Waterhouse stated that Phoenix Park had trialled well on two occasions leading into the run and could offer no tangible explanation for its poor performance.

Denham's stable representative was advised to notify the Stewards of any change in tactics.

When questioned, B. York stated that whilst he felt the tempo of the race had not particularly suited Borelli, nevertheless the gelding was disappointing in its failure to finish the race off. Mrs G.
