The declaration of correct weight was delayed to afford Mr K. Kemp, the trainer of 3rd placegetter TEDDER AVENUE, the opportunity of viewing the photo finish image.
 
YEPPOON – J. Lloyd explained that connections instructed him to endeavour to have the horse race to the outside of other runners, however after beginning awkwardly he was initially covered by TERRA SANCTA and when that horse went forward, then raced inside of TEMPA MENTAL, and that YEPPOON therefore was off the bit most of the way and never travelled comfortably. A post-race veterinary examination revealed no significant findings.

TEMPA MENTAL – Bounded on jumping.

NO ANNAMOSSITY – Carried 5 wide around the home turn.
